Nine to 10 year old boys will enjoy this fun adventure. The book's short chapters and quick action will keep them turning the pages.

When Ben and Jake found the treasure map and canoe buried in the sand they couldn't of been happier. They would go out onto a river by their houses and stay out all day. When they found the entrance to what seemed to be blocked off by chicken wire, Ben and Jake couldn't resist going into the swamp.
When they reached the island in the middle of the swamp, they go swimming. Later, they noticed a huge log floating towards them. One of them acknowledges that it is an alligator and tells the other to swim as fast as he can.
On top of the alligator problem there is quicksand as far as the eye can see. Not only is there quicksand, there is a strange man in the shadows watching them and waiting for them to die. The man in the shadows also sunk the canoe, so Ben and Jake are stranded on an island surrounded by quicksand and alligators.
To find out what happens to Ben and Jake you must read the book.

I think this book was exciting right from the start. It was full of adventure and action. I really liked it because they went looking for treasure and come across danger in a quicksand swamp. If you really like adventure and action you would really like this book. I would recomend it to anyone.

The author just describes it so well that I thought I was there in Quicksand Swamp. Also when you finish the book look back at the begining,you will find tons of clues. When you start reading it is hard to stop. In other words your eyes will be stuck in that book. If you are traveling across the country bring it. I highly reconmend.

Danger in Quicksand Swamp is a very adventerous book. It starts out when ben and Jake are friends and then they find a boat and then they find a map inside the boat... and they find themselves stuk in a tree for a few days. and finally they kill the biggest aligator an eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner. If you ask me what ages should read this i would say 5 and over.

When i was a kid Danger in Quicksand Swamp was my favorite book ever. Now that I've grown up, I still look at it with fond memories and would reccomend it to anyone who enjoys adventure and suspense. I would also reccomend Trapped in Cave by Bill Wallace, an equally suspensful and adventurous book.

One of Bill Wallace's best adventure stories! But if you want to be surprised at the end, DON'T read the review by "11-year-old reader from Houston." I think spoiler reviews like that should be screened out!

Ben and Jake found a boat with a map inside. It leads to a buried treasure in the middle of Quicksand Swamp. But when they reach the island and start digging, someone ties their boat to the other bank that's surrounded by alligators. So they half-way bury themselves at the edge of the quicksand, wait until the mystery man comes, then push him into the quicksand. I agree with the author. I like the way he setups the story. The way its based actually. Its just like the way J.K. Rowling does with Harry Potter 1, 2, 3, 4. I would recommened this book, Danger in Quicksand Swamp, to anyone. Especially people who like adventure and mystery stories.
