But when their parents go missing, they are forced into unfathomable circumstances and learn of a history that is best left unknown, for they are catalysts in an ancient score that must be settled. As the chaos unfolds, opportunities arise that involve cracking codes and anticipating their next moves.

The Lost Tribes, by C. Taylor-Butler Review "Well-written and well-paced: a promising start to what should be an exciting and unusual sci-fi series." - Kirkus Reviews, Jan 2015"Fascinating, gripping and action-packed. If you like puzzles, mysterious ancient civilizations, or The 39 Clues, you'll love The Lost Tribes." Tui Sutherland, NYT's bestselling author of the Wings of Fire Series."It's a wildly imaginative, super-fun ride that runs from cliffhanger to cliffhanger. . . I'm always on the lookout for books that beg NOT to be put down and this was one of them." Chris Tebbetts, NYT's bestselling author of the Middle School series."This is science fiction that is so well grounded it appeals to all readers, even those who claim they don't like science fiction. It's a thrilling, high-stakes adventure with characters you care about, even finding yourself working through puzzles with them, all the while looking over your shoulder for the next ingenious emergency. In short, this is an all-nighter -- a book you'll read all night because it has the power and inventiveness dreams are made of." Kathy Erskine, author of Mockingbird, National Book Award Winner."Combining world travel, video games, puzzles, archeology, advanced technology, mysterious parents, growing danger, and a group of ambitious teenagers, The Lost Tribes by C. Taylor-Butler is quite the adventure." Chris Koppenhaver, Lackmann Library, Lenexa KS"I'm always happy when there is a new sic fi book for middle grade, especially these days when it's non-dystopian sci fi. And this one adds ancient mysteries from around the world. Nice." Charlou Lunsford, Blue Valley Library, Overland Park, KS
About the Author C. Taylor-Butler (Christine Taylor-Butler), an MIT trained Civil Engineer, is the author of more than 70 books for children, including Sacred Mountain: Everest. She has won the Best Children's Book of the Year Award and a host of other awards. Her short stories and essays have appeared in magazines and journals including the Horn Book Review, and Scholastic's Read and Rise Literacy Guide for Parents, to name a few. In addition to her writing activities, she chairs MIT's Regional Educational Council and serves on the Missouri Judicial Performance Committee. When not conducting various science experiments for many of her books: how to make solid objects float when they shouldn't, creating invisible force fields with magnets, and making electricity from fruits and vegetables (bringing the love of science to classrooms everywhere), the author has traveled to remote places, such as the Tongas National Forest in Alaska, to scout unusual locations for her debut science fiction/adventure novel, The Lost Tribes. She lives in Missouri where she is responsible for the care and feeding of a spouse, college kids, cats, fish and a very needy 104-year-old historic house. Patrick Arrasmith has illustrated for both large and small publishers like - Greenwillow Books, Macmillan, Night Shade Books, Oxford University Press, Parachute Press, Penguin Books, Random House, Scholastic, Subterranean Press, Tor, Viking Press. Most, if not all, of his work is done in the medium of scratchboard. Scratchboard is a thin layer of white clay, machine-applied to a base of illustration board. The clay is coated with black ink. A blade not unlike a scalpel is used to scratch off lines of the black ink, revealing the white surface below. All color in the illustration is applied on a computer. You only have to take a look at the cover and interior art of The Lost Tribes to see the painstaking work and time put into each carving.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Mystery, Intrigue, Puzzles, and Clues! By Susan Vaught I admit it. I'm a total nerd, or geek, or whatever you like to call folks who soak up fantasy, science fiction, mystery, and suspense like air made out of words. I really enjoyed Lost Tribes and plan to review it on my website soon. I love this group of brilliant kids full of questions, attitude, and an insatiable drive to understand everything around them. They know what they're supposed to be (so they think), how they're supposed to act--so of course, they refuse all of these rules and set about making their own way, and their own disasters. The mysteries begin immediately, and astute readers will quickly realize that something is a little . . . off. About their parents. About their neighborhood. About their supposed histories. Even about their (assumed) cultures. Of all the things the kids question, these basics aren't on the list, at least not at first.And then the madness begins.They have puzzles to solve and clues to follow and realities to face--things they can barely begin to imagine, about themselves, their families, and their own histories.This book is one wild ride. It kept me (a giant kid) very interested, and I think kids of all ages (even, um, over 29, by, you know, just a bit) will delight in trying to solve the puzzles, stay ahead in the guessing and sleuthing game, and making discoveries along with the main characters.Also, I would really, really like to meet and have a long conversation with the character of Uncle Henry. May he show up at my house one stormy afternoon, with the best computer game EVER...
9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Great book and amazing author By KCmomof2 My 12 yr old son could not read this fast enough. Can't wait for the next one to come out. We actually bought a 2nd copy at a local bookstore because author was there and he couldn't wait to meet her. Mrs Taylor-Butler did not disappoint. She was unfailingly generous with her time to meet and interact with young fans!
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Empathy and Growth By John A Horner This is the type of book I loved reading when I was growing up. (To be frank, it is the type of book I still love reading.)We have five young characters, four of whom are moving into adolescence, dealing with the struggles of individuation we all have to deal with at that time of our lives. One thing I particularly liked about this book is the author's subtle route in introducing us to these characters and their parents and other family members. We get to know these five--Ben, his little sister April, and their friends (sometimes not so friends) Grace, Carlos, and Serise--all of whom live in the same small section of a neighborhood. The author, without beating us on the head with it, establishes that these five come out of four different ethnic groups--none of which is the typical WASP--and allows the reader to start to piece this fact together. The author doesn't make a big deal out of it, just lays it out there for us to bit by bit realize it.The principal character, through whose third person eyes we see most of the action, is Ben. At some points, as Ben jumped to certain conclusions that he thinks are explanations for the actions of other characters--usually the adults--I thought to myself, "Come on, Ben,you're not thinking it through." but then I thought back on my own life (at least four times the span of Ben's), and remembered some of the conclusions *I* jumped to when I was his age, and I thought, "Well, the author nailed that one."I was particularly moved by last several chapters, the growth and challenges the five go through, and the importance, at times, of being willing to disobey.I have loved science fiction since I was a kid. I read Robert Heinlein's juvenile focused novels (several given to me when I had my appendix out), the Tom Hardy Jr. books of the 1960s, the new age revolution of authors like Harlan Ellison, the classics of Madeleine L'Engle, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and many, many others.This is a wonderful addition to the genre, gracing us with young characters who learning how to think, how to empathize, and how to work together.I look forward to the next book in the series, to learn explanations to the questions left hanging (why are the rules Ben's uncle uses for H.O.R.S.E. so different from the rules I grew up playing by?), and what will the five main learn about the secrets of their origin?A great start to the series.Dr. John A. Horner
