I really enjoyed this chapter with its variety of happenings and the surprise twist at the end. The end creatures sound a bit like mermaids.

I am curious to learn what happened to their planet.

Regarding the different fonts for the thought transferring versus the storytelling and conversation between Herbie and Eric, I did not find it confusing.

    I'm still working on it. I've had one person tell me just to use the normal font, because everyone who's reading it already knows it's thought transferring. I thought that was a good idea. Thank you, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

Mermaids! Mermen!!! Marvelous! I never would have thought to connect the two together. Atlantis, the underwater city and Mermaids, and Mermen... the 'people' that dwell in the sea. What a natural pairing! Yet, who'd have thought of it? Well, apparently you! LOL Now, I'm excited!

I haven't read the previous chapters, but I like this one so I might read the others. I really like your writing style. It is far above what I usually find on this site.

    That is such a nice thing to say, Tom, thank you so much. If you do begin at the beginning there is a small synopsis of how Eric and Herbie started their time travels. Thanks again, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Hello Sandra, a wonderful Wednesday to you. I hope this finds you well. Thank you for another installment of Eric's adventures, they are always fun to read. I wouldn't mind taking a trip into your imagination, you clearly have a vivid one. Good job as always, I will be waiting for the next chapter.

    My mother used to say I had a vivid imagination when I came up with the most bizarre reasons for doing something I shouldn't have! Lol. Sometimes it worked! Thank you so much for this lovely, fun review. I'm delighted you are still enjoying my story. Big hugs, my friend. Sandra xxx

Another super chapter, Sandra. I can see you're having fun with this, and the result if fabulous. My grandson asked me if mermaids were real when he was in the bath the other night, and I told him I thought they were, although I had never seen one. I can't wait till he's old enough to read this fantastic book - and tell him my mate, Sandra, wrote it!

-Great artwork and story to go with it, Sandra.
-I like how you pick up from the ending of
the previous chapter about the language problem.
-The Atlanteans are also very polite and show
concern for Eric.
-I also like how you always include a bit of humor,
and also something about the language of the creatures,
or Eric's thoughts about what his teacher would think.
-Excellent description of the stateroom; we can picture
being there and being able to see the gorgeous sea creatures.
-Finally, I like the information given by the Atlantean at
the ending regarding where they came from, and
wanting to know why they haven't seen a human species before.
-Then, another creature is introduced, and we wait to
see what that is all about.
-Well done!

This is an excellent read and very interesting for captivating the minds of young ones. I enjoyed your ending because of the new characters that I'm sure will invoke more curiosity for Eric.

First. I am wondering how many ways I can inject this little tidbit of "fathom" definition into casual conversation in the next 24 hours! (Thanks for sharing!) Second--I didn't find a single "nit" to warn you about. I did however thoroughly enjoy your style of writing! "What the heck" indeed! I'll be off for a few months but will be delighted to catch up when I return!--Karenina

Hello Sandra,
Wonderful surprises, not just for Eric, but for all readers of the Atlantis adventure.
You've accomplished the nice trick of entertaining while also educating your young readers, plus stimulating their imaginations.
I sometimes feel like Eric when to many people are all espousing
their own opinions simultaneously. None can hear the other amidst all the hullabaloo. That's when I press the mute button. Ah, silence. How sweet it is.

I like that universal language translator. Would love to have one myself.
You have a nice dynamic where each side wants to learn about the other.
The exchange between Herbie and Eric is priceless and the references to
teachers all kids will love.
You've got it all in this book, aliens, spaceships, aquamen, Atlanteans.
I think those of Atlantis are explorers from a planet in decline.
It's difficult to fathom all the possibilities of this wonderful undiscovered world.
Great chapter, my friend, loved it.
Looking forward to the next.
Robert

    What an amazing review, Robert, I'm unusually stuck for words! No, hang on, they're back! Lol. Thank you so very much, my friend, I truly am chuffed to bits with all you've put in this review, thank you!! The six stars are wonderful, but this review is worth a ten x 6 to me. Biggest hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx
