This review is from: Madness at Moonshiner's Bay (Accidental Detectives, Book 9) (Paperback)

Ricky and his friends are off to Disney World. While on the plane, Joel manages to become friends with the giant of a man sitting next to him. When the man is arrested as soon as they land, the Accidental Detectives learn that he's an ex-con, returning home from prison for murder. The next day, Lisa, Ricky, and Joel are kidnapped and taken to a small island in a swamp. Guarded by an alligator, they must figure out what their captors want and find a way to escape.

I read this book once several years ago, and I had forgotten just how intense it is. Rereading it this week, I could hardly put it down. The story moves from one predicament to another with hardly a chance to breath. Naturally, I finished it fast to find out just what was going on and how the gang would get through this adventure safe and sound.

This is a thriller for kids, and any fan of action will love it. With a couple good twists thrown in for good measure, it should please any one looking for a good read.
