"Warning: May cause spontaneous laughter and extreme reading past bedtime." Meet the Wright cousins: five fun-loving, slightly chaotic, and wildly inventive kids who never back down from a challenge… unless it involves spiders. When their grandparents call for help, the cousins expect lemonade and maybe yard work—not vanishing trains, secret passages, and a haunted gold mine. But hey, when real adventure calls, you go for it! Out come the walkie-talkies, marshmallows, and crazy inventions.

I normally don't review books on here [Amazon] unless highly impressed! So many children's books today are such a poor excuse for literature - poor plots, undeveloped characters, even poor spelling and use of English.
