A Kid's Review
This review is from: What Could Go Wrong? (Paperback)
This book will take you to an airport and change your idea of a airports forever. Willo Davis Roberts brilliantly brings the characters to life. The book sounds like it was written by a monkey. The plot is slow with not a lot of power. The plot has nothing but the characters are great.The plot is a no show. The kids first must convince there parents that they can go to San Francisco alone! On there way they meet a old lady. This old lady wants a news paper. The kids take some old paper. On the plane an old man keeps going to the bath room on his way he keeps trying to take the old ladies purse. They have to land in portland because of a bomb threat . After wards the main characters are focused on finding out why they made another stop. The old lady gets mugged. They finally get to San Francisco. The crooks get caught and they get to go to there aunts.
