It is so sad on the last page
I could not put the book down and I am addicted to video games.
Explorer Academy is a very good start to a series. It’s about Cruz Coronado, a 12-year old from Hawaii who is accepted into Explorer Academy. It is a prestigious and selective school where the most talented children study to become explorers. When he arrives, Cruz meets kids with various talents, from futuristic scientists to acrobatic athletes. While studying to be an elite explorer and making allies, he encounters strange things that seem to threaten his life. He tries to excel in his various classes while trying to understand the mystery surrounding him. This book is very interesting, and it gives a refreshing and realistic take on talented kids.
WOW!!! That was my only reaction after reading this book! Just WOW! This book totally surprised me. Cruz Coronado lives in Hawaii and loves to surf. At least, he LIVED in Hawaii. The very exclusive Explorer Academy had accepted his application to attend... in WASHINGTON, D.C.! His deceased mother had gone when she was his age, and Cruz feels she would be proud of him going. At the Academy, they train kids and teens about how to explore. Pretty cool, right? Cruz definitely thinks so! There's augmented reality rooms to simulate what life will be like when they set sail to take an ACTUAL EXPLORATION! YEAH! They get to actually go out into the world and explore using the skills they learned at the Explorer Academy! Sounds like my kind of school!! But something sinister seems to be going on amidst all of the hubbub. Nebula (a medicine company) wants to stop the explorers from finding a special substance from jellyfish that can cure every single disease in the world, which would eventually put Nebula out of service (because no one is getting sick and buying their medicine)! LIKE, WHO WOULD DO THAT?!? Nebula is the DEFINITION of evil! And a strange man keeps popping up in Cruz's life... more like following him! Why is all of this happening to Cruz? Find out in Explorer Academy: The Nebula Secret. This book is spectacular! I loved it because it had fun codes, and awesome story and writing style, and showed how cool exploring is! I would absolutely LOVE to attend Explorer Academy! This book was overall FABULOUS! I recommend this book to anyone, at any age!
I know you're TOTALLY right

At the end, they almost kill him underwater. At the beginning it is boring but wait till you are a few pages in when exciment begins.
