“Wham! Bang! Outstanding! This series is more than great! It should be on every bookshelf for any kid who loves adventure.” — Buzzyflight
The hunt continues as the Wright cousins and the Straunsee sisters search for buried treasure near the island of Talofa in the South Pacific. A series of happy accidents has led the youth to reunite in this remote part of the world, and they are more than willing to team up to discover the whereabouts of a supposed bounty. But they are not the only ones after the treasure, of course, and when one of the villains resembles Sarina Straunsee, things become even more complicated. Using their wits and collective strengths, the Wright cousins and their friends work to put the disparate pieces together and right the wrongs that have been done.
This fifteenth in the Wright Cousin Adventures series is an extension of book fourteen and therefore picks up right where that story leaves off. The island of Talofa is full of secrets, and the Wright cousins are fortunate to have both the wherewithal and the means to bring their goals to fruition. There is an abundance of characters included in this story, which can feel overwhelming for readers even if they are familiar with other books in the series. Despite this, however, the narrative flows smoothly and is filled with the wholesome banter and light peril that are hallmarks of the Wright Cousin Adventures collection. Action and dialogue drive the plot of this book, and families will enjoy reading this novel and its companions aloud together. Though it is the last in the series for now, it is clear that more are on the horizon for fans to look forward to reading. This is an enjoyable addition to library collections for young readers.
