MY THOUGHTS:

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

Like a great big puzzle all spinning and looping together in a complicated yet exhilarating roller coaster ride full of suspenseful twists and turns that keeps the reader engaged and looking for the next puzzle piece to fall in place. Wildly imaginative, full of volcanos, giant mosquitos, runaway vehicles, dinos, and bad guys, this story challenges kids to solve their situations or…

Love the challenges, and Heath’s creativity. He spins amazing situations in ten short stories that connects characters together like a spider’s web. Great story for both middle grade readers and adults. Lots to enjoy: tension filled scenes, suspenseful twists and hidden gems waiting to be discovered.

Highly recommend this book to all.
