James Ponti does it again! A fast paced and smart adventure led by some middle grade kids accompanied by responsible adults. I love that these kids had help from an adult every step of the way! 

Atmosphere and chemistry are two things Ponti nails. I felt the humid sweaty surroundings of South Florida and the comradery of this middle school group and their elderly enabler. Plus, the lessons they learn throughout about journalism and writing a complete story will be great knowledge for middle grade readers to ingest. 

We are set up so perfectly for the next book and I cannot wait to see what comes next for this gang!
