The Way to Atlantis Jonathan Schork

In Fearless Inanna, a young girl goes on an heroic quest to rescue her parents from a dragon's curse. Five years on, the goddess of the Small Sea summons her to meet with the great ocean goddesses Ratu-kidul, Marah, and Amphitrite, who present her with a daunting task: cross the Long Sea to the distant city of Atlantis and rescue it from another dragon, this one more daunting than the last. After a visit with her old friend, the witch Siduri, and an enlightening visit to the court of the Minoan Bull-king, Inanna makes her way at last to the doomed city, even reawakening a sleeping god in an effort to save it, but the dragon is more formidable by far than she ever anticipated. With twelve illustrations, a glossary, end notes, and a bibliography.




Logline: Caught between an ancient dragon and a sleeping god, legendary Atlantis stands poised on the edge of doom. Summoned by its queens, the young Sumerian Inanna, Mistress of Dragons, traverses the ancient Mediterranean, from the Bull-king's court through the Pillars of Hercules to rescue the fabled city, but even she doesn't understand the inscrutable designs of the Goddesses of the Deep.
