I think the book Dive is a good book It was about people who dove in the Caribbean sea There was a team The team dove in the ocean to find stuff, take pictures of it, or sell it They haven t found much valuable stuff They once found and WWII German Bomber in the sea and then later realized it was a Hollywood fake it was made for a movie Gordon Korman was a great author I liked all his books My most interested part is when they found the WWII German Bomber The author wrote a whole chapter on how [...]

I think that Gordon Korman s Dive was a very interesting book It was action packed and it made me want to keep reading it I wanted to find out what was going to happen next I loved the part when Kaz dove deep down into the ocean in the beginning of the book I thought that they were going to get eat by sharks when the dove looking for the treasure in the middle of the book It was cool when they dove in the Caribbean Sea and saw all of the Dolphins They were mostly diving to find different things [...]

We ve got a group of diverse high schoolers brought together for an internship that involves diving but 3 of them are not strong divers I m not going to summarize the story as this can be obtained from the blurb This is designed to be an adventure mystery My third grader was assigned to read this for his in school book club We had to read it together because much of the terminology was far beyond his comprehension It was, honestly, not good for a third grader The story head hops within the same [...]

I liked this book in some chapters and some chapters wasn t really interesting What I found interesting is that there were four teens diving under water I like how they are doing things young and having a great experience The four teens are on a marine expedition for the summer Diving to explore an underwater habitat that s just been discovered by a seismic event What they find was then just fish They also find treasure Can forget about the sharks two kids caught in the shipwreck and the story [...]

Gordon Korman has written many books in his long career and his skill shows in the entire Dive trilogy In Discovery, four young divers have been chosen for an internship by scientists mapping a coral reef although they are underqualified for the job The kids soon figure out that this is because the scientists are actually treasure hunters, and the kids are being used as a cover to prevent others from watching the activities of the hunters too closely This is the first installment of a trilogy th [...]

4.5.First, I have to say I ve shelved this as historical fiction because it has some historical fiction woven as a chapter here and there of a dual story during 1665 I love how the author did that.The characters that Gordon Korman has created in this series are so vivid, with their lives before diving making them less than perfect and relatable And the writing is so good I could feel the fear Kaz felt when facing Clarence, the notorious 18 foot long tiger shark I knew the frustration Dante went [...]

The book Dive was not an intriguing book in my opinion The authors purpose of writing this book was to entertain and provide suspense The major theme in this book was mystery This book was not entertaining to me because I was not interested in the topic The four characters names were Kaz, Star, Adriana, and Dante The four were selected to do an intership for a dive team on an island Kaz and Adriana were my favorite characters Kaz was a Hockey player from Canada and Adriana was a girl from a weal [...]

An amazing introduction to the series that I m reading back to back I don t give it five stars because I simultaneously think that it s both too mature and too childish for its target audience, but the story is so captivating that I loved it anyway The entire time I red this, however, I didn t see the characters as thirteen and fourteen year olds a lot closer to seventeen and eighteen year olds in their attitude, abilities, and the situations that Korman put them into Despite this, the relations [...]

I like the book The book is about 4 teenagers who was selected in a summer internship with the Poseidon Oceanograpic Institute My favorite character is Dante Lewis he is the one who is taking photos under the sea I liked him because it would be really cool taking photos under the sea I liked the part when the 4 of them meet, because sometimes they will tell how do they looked like If I was selected in Poseidon Oceanographic Institute I would probably say yes and I want to be the one who is takin [...]

I liked reading this book.I thought it was interesting how the author had the story keep on bouncing back and forth between the present,with the four characters,and the past,about the boy on the ship in colonial times.I liked how throughout the story there was action to keep me interested.I liked how the author showed how the four characters progressed in there ability to dive.I figured out this was a series,so right after I finished this first book,I got the second one.It made me want to read .

I enjoyed reading this book because I like books that have to do with adventure in the book, the character Kaz is new to scuba diving and is nervous he isn t go to fit in like he wants to he meets a girl named Adrianna who has a low self esteam and they realized that they have a lot in common one possible theme for the book is that you should believe in your self even when others are doubting you I think that this is a good theme fir this book because when Kaz sees the girl who is the best diver [...]

I thought that this was a good exhilerating book There was some suspense in this book This book was about four kids and three of them were inexperienced, but the fourth kid had cerebral palsy Her cerebral palsy went away whenever she went swimming because it reminded her when she was a little kid and she swam happily In the middle of the book one of the main characters Star swam to the bottom if the ocean and found a WW2 airplane When she did this she took a bullet from the plane and her air hos [...]
