After a harrowing–yet successful–journey to space, the Wright cousins are ready to enjoy some much deserved down-time with their royal friends in the land of Gutenberg. But, what begins as a relaxing vacation quickly turns dangerous when an ancient law comes to light that threatens the king’s official right to rule. Luckily, the Wright cousins are in the right place at the right time, and they have just the skills they need to get to the bottom of the mystery before nefarious forces supercede their efforts. Together with friends both familiar and new, the Wright cousins put together the fragmented details of the law to help secure the rightful king on his throne.

This tenth in the Wright Cousins Adventures series picks up shortly after the previous book ends, and while it begins as a relaxing trip to Gutenberg, the action quickly revs up. Several familiar characters are woven into the narrative, and other characters who have only received a brief mention in previous stories garner more attention in this novel, as well. Comic banter among the cousins is used throughout, and the action in this story is particularly riveting. As villains attempt to usurp the crown, the Wright cousins and their friends find themselves in trouble more than once, and they must rely both on their shared knowledge and their companionship to survive.

Short chapters and a fast-paced narrative make this book suitable to a range of ages, especially thanks to the accessible and family-friendly writing style. Fans of shorter series novels like The Hardy Boys will appreciate the similar design and execution of this collection of novels. This is an exciting addition to the Wright Cousins series, and it is an enjoyable story to include on both home and library shelves.

I received a copy of this book from the author and I chose to leave this review.
