It skimmed the Atlantic, then at the flick of its captain's will dove beneath the waves...It was the "Terror"...ship, sub, plane, and land vehicle in one and a letter from its inventor claimed that with it, he would rule the world."

Dick Sands, the Boy Captain is a classic children's novel, with a strong plot and plenty of action. Some of its descriptive passages are excellent, and many of them are instructive. The bits relating to equatorial Africa and the slave trade are scrupulously (and dreadfully) accurate, as Verne makes sure to indicate by giving his sources and by quoting an extract from an account of the travels of Cameron.
