 "Roy's writing keeps getting better and better. He has a fun, original concept: orphaned Alfred has his own submarine, in which he sails around the world having adventures with a dog and a seagull....Ghosts of the Pacific is a page-turning adventure with depth. Roy has done his research, and he has a brilliant plot device with which to work....Alfred is a thoughtful, practical, sympathetic narrator. The book is packed with information: geographical, historical, political, but it never feels didactic because Alfred is discovering right along with the reader....Written in simple, clear language, and with a plot that includes both action and introspection, Ghosts of the Pacific is appropriate for a wide range of readers. It will particularly appeal to boys and anyone who likes realistic adventure, survival stories, or stories of the sea. The Submarine Outlaw books would be an excellent series to have in the classroom and would make a great starting place for any number of discussions or research projects. Suspenseful, exciting, thought-provoking and fun, Ghosts of the Pacific is an enjoyable read for any age. Highly Recommended." "Philip Roy....embraces a more comprehensive definition, resulting in another fabulously rich tale of adventure....His extraordinary character continues to help him endure the anguish of typhoons, the violent death of animals, the blight of garbage and the suffering of others. Still, he enjoys the company of new friends....learning more about the world, and consciously making a difference whenever he can....Like a great adventure, Ghosts of the Pacific does not allow the reader the opportunity to be distracted or bored....The plot is relentless, always enriched with unexpected subplots, steeped in a multifaceted landscape of cold and warmth, hardness and softness....."

HTML: Ghosts of the Pacific, the fourth volume in the best-selling Submarine Outlaw series, begins with Alfred and his crew of Seaweed the seagull and Hollie the dog undertaking a harrowing journey through the icy gauntlet of the Northwest Passage on the way to the South Pacific. Alfred wants to see those dark places of the earth where horrendous events have taken place. He sets his sights on exotic Micronesia â?? a beautiful place, but home to the nuclear testing of Bikini Lagoon; the Suicide Cliffs of Saipan; the airfields of Tinian, where the Enola Gay lifted off with the atomic bomb; and the Marshall Islands, which may conceal secrets to the mystery of Amelia Earhart's final days. Yet even with these past tragedies in mind, Alfred discovers that the world is facing an even greater threat today. As they sail into the hot, hazy world of the Pacific, they encounter the ruthless killing practices of shrimp trawlers and an island of plastic the size of Texas. Along the way, Alfred, Hollie and Seaweed befriend the crew of an environmental protection ship, who help to inspire him to take on a new goal: to protect the oceans of the world.
