There is never a dull moment for the Wright cousins, so it is no surprise that the cousins are invited on an all-expenses-paid trip to Talofa Island in celebration of Tim’s artistic merits. Great Aunt Opal is supposed to be chaperoning the cousins, but when she misses her plane, the youth go on their own to explore the island. When the cousins discover a note inside a cool old box at a souvenir shop in town, they immediately set about seeking the lost items mentioned in the letter. But they are not the only ones after the treasure, of course, and the cousins must work together to find it before their efforts are thwarted.
This fourteenth in the Wright Cousin Adventures series begins a new set of adventures for the cousins. Like the others in the series, this one incorporates accessible language, plenty of rich and entertaining banter among the cousins, love and support, and just the right amount of danger and excitement. Samoan language is incorporated into the narrative, enhancing the feel of the South Pacific culture in which the cousins find themselves. Wholesome in its delivery, this book is particularly fun to read aloud as a family. Though the characters themselves are teenagers, middle grade readers and adults will similarly enjoy the antics presented in this story.
Readers who appreciate formulaic mystery fiction like Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys will love this contemporary approach to that writing style. While this book can stand on its own, it is helpful to have read the previous novels in the series in order to better understand the characters and the events that have led to this point.
Funny, lighthearted, and well-written, this book is one that fans of the Wright cousins will particularly enjoy adding to their collections, and they will eagerly jump into book fifteen upon its conclusion.

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