By A Customer
This review is from: The Cocoa Commotion (Carmen Sandiego Mystery) (Paperback)
This is a Marvelously written, and thought-up story, it conbines Education, and Entertainment, into a wonderful story, that you will want to read over, and over, again!! In this Carmen Sandiego Mystery, young detectives, Maya, and Ben embark, on a fabalous journey, trying to stop The Elusive Thief, Carmen Sandiego, from stealing cocoa, from specific points in time, without cocoa, there would be no chocolate in the world, and that would be a diaster for chocolate-lovers!!! Maya, and Ben are the first ones to take The Newly, Designed, ACME Chronoskimmer, out, for a spin, When The Chief hears about the crime!! Maya, and Ben's journey takes them from meeting The Maya, Indians, to the future Moon Dome!!! Meeting, intresting characters along the way!! This story is Excellent, and I highly suggest it to any Carmen Sandiego Fan!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read, November 27, 2011
This review is from: The Cocoa Commotion (Carmen Sandiego Mystery) (Paperback)
I first read this book as a child, and immediately enjoyed the ride throughout the history of chocolate. Re-reading it as an adult reminded me just how great of a franchise Carmen Sandiego was. She is the villian that you love to see get away... You find yourself cheering for her half of the time. Why? Because she has the foresight to go after a cocoa plant instead of gold or treasure to wreak havoc! Definitely an enjoyable read!
