Seven Wonders: The Colossus Rises by Peter Lerangis

If you liked the Percy Jackson series, you are going to like this one.  This is book one of what I am assuming will be at least 7 books (get it...seven wonders).  Book One starts with Jack McKinley standing up for a kid against the school bully.  The next minute he has blacked out and is in a hospital on a tropical island.  He and 3 other preteens have been whisked away to this island because they all possess a gene G7W that gives them superhero potential, but may also kill them by the time they are 14.  They are tasked with finding some lost artifacts of Atlantis (the source of Atlantian power) that have been hidden in the 7 wonders of the ancient world.  I love the mythology, and Atlantian legend as well as the information about the 7 wonders of the world.  I have read Books 2 (Lost in Babylon) AND I JUST NOW finished Book 3 (The Tomb of Shadows.)  All three are exciting and action packed and leave you wanting more!  Now I have to wait for book 4!
