In the beginning of this outstanding young adult read, we find ourselves at the annual school spelling bee and the suspense is on as the children prepare themselves in hopes of winning. When Angus wins, he won for his entire class. The excitement grew as the class learned they were going from Illinois to Arizona to a real working dude ranch. Angus and his friends plotted out their adventure and their main goal, finding gold. Little did they know the true adventure they would have, and the challenges that were before them.

As we travel along the tale, we find ourselves at the ranch and Angus, Andrew and Taylor find themselves trapped in an underground mine in their attempt to find gold.
The adventure truly begins as the two are separated from Angus and they must use their wits to find their way out of the abandoned mine. Little did they know they had help from a very un-believable source; and a delightful surprise at the knowledge of who that source was at the end of the read.

This book has every element of a story that young and old will enjoy. Brimming with mystery, adventure and excitement you will find yourself caught up in the journey these young people are on. The author does an outstanding job in drawing you completely into the storyline and allowing you to become a part of the happenings, from the excitement of the win, to the trip, the raging storm, the lost children and the supernatural rescue, you will hungrily turn each page to devour more of the adventure.
A very enjoyable read, and certainly recommended.
