REVIEWS
Following an eventful adventure to ensure that King Straunsee remains the rightful sovereign of Gutenberg, the Wright cousins are looking forward to spending some quality time with their friends before returning home to the United States. Unfortunately, this is not to be, as the cousins are unceremoniously told to leave the air force base where they had found refuge—with no time to say their goodbyes. After boarding their plane, the Wrights are not only faced with white-out blizzard conditions, but they also have two enemy aircraft on their tail. When the questionable jets shoot down the cousins’ plane, the youth must fight for their survival while attempting to discern friend from foe.
The stakes have increased dramatically in this twelfth installment of the Wright Cousin Adventures series, and it feels as though every previous story has led up to this one. While they have been fairly self-sufficient up to this point, the cousins are now faced with even more challenging circumstances that they must work together to overcome. Guns and peril now follow the cousins, and the choices they make have far-reaching repercussions. It is helpful to have read the other books in the series before approaching this one so that readers have an understanding of what has led to this point, though this novel’s story is self-contained.
Readers familiar with the rest of the series will fall easily into the action of this narrative as they return to familiar characters and circumstances. Like its companion novels, this book incorporates frequent dialogue filled with witty banter, and the characters are both wholesome and approachable to middle grade readers and young adults alike. Engaging and well-written, this is a positive addition to this series, and it is an adventure story the whole family will enjoy.
I received a copy of this book from the author and I chose to leave this review.
