4-6Seven Wonders series.
Thirteen-year-old Jack McKinley is kidnapped along with three other teens to form the Select, descendants of Atlantis who will die without seven Atlantean artifacts called the Loculi. Mistrustful of the professor who wants to use their talents, Jack and the others still seek the first Loculus in the Colossus of Rhodes. Satisfyingly intense action sequences hang on a shaky, formulaic plot scaffolding.
