Publisher's summary

Fans of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Peter Lerangis' Seven Wonders series will embrace this first epic adventure in a rollicking new series by a New York Times best-selling author.

Will Wilder is a mischievous, headstrong 12-year-old with an otherworldly gift - he alone can see the nefarious creatures encroaching on Perilous Falls. For nearly a century, a sacred relic has protected his hometown from the raging waters surrounding it. But when Will "borrows" the relic for his own purposes, he accidentally unleashes an ancient evil.

As boats sink and hideous creatures crawl from the rising waters, Will must set things right before it is too late. With the help of his sweet (if lethal) great-aunt Lucille, the curator of a museum of powerful artifacts, Will proves that the actions of one 12-year-old boy can change the world.

Excellent Story & Performance!

A fun read for All. Great Story & Excellent Storytelling by Mr. Aroyo. We were totally engrossed by the story, and thoroughly enjoyed the sometimes scary, but cleverly unfolding adventure of Will and his friends in "Perilous Falls".

This was a very exciting yet fun read. Plus it was Educational without being too preachy, nor was it overtly catechetical and moralizing. My 9 year old and I were very impressed by the amount of things we learned about our Faith, the limits of naturalism, as well as the importance of knowing our history and reading the Bible.

The performance was exceptional, Mr Aroyo is a very giftede v.oice actor, we can't wait to read Part Ii.

Very intriguing adventures !

Definitely on par with the Percy Jackson series from an action/adventure standpoint, with just as much peril for the main characters to encounter! A bit scary in places, but this series has fun tidbits to find, from a Catholic historical standpoint. Also.. Loved the parts with the adventuring great grandfather as a young man, running around, Indiana Jones style after relics, escaping Nazis in the war.
Overall, the book was an enthralling read that was hard to put down even for a moment, and we’ll definitely be reading the next in the series.
