Goodreads Summary
An adventure novel about four lucky kids and a mysterious, but thrilling ride for fans of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Jurassic Park!
CastleCorp and the famous Castleton brothers are unveiling the World's Greatest Adventure Machine! The roller coaster is an experience like no other, and four lucky kids have won the chance to be the first to ride it.
There's Trevor, whose latest stunt got him in trouble at school again. There's Devin, whose father is pushing him to be the next Internet sensation. Nika's wealthy grandfather isn't too pleased about her participation. And Cameron, he'll be the first to tell you, is a certified genius.
The whole world is watching. But as the kids set off on their journey, they begin to realize that there is perhaps more to their fellow contest winners than meets the eye. And the Adventure Machine? It might just have a mind of its own.
Join the contestants on their wild ride if you dare. Your adventure starts now!
My Review
The World's Greatest Adventure Machine is another hit for Frank Cole! This book has it all. Adventure (which is a given from the title!), humor, heart, and lots of fun. All of the characters were fabulous. Each was unique in their own way, which is very important later. I adored them all. Cameron would say the funniest things. He was my favorite. Devin was great too. Nika kept to herself and was very cautious (for good reason, which is revealed later). Trevor, wow I wish I was that brave. This book is very funny and clever. I love books about kids who are smart and work out their problems. All while having fun too. The plot is exciting and there are lots of twists and turns to add to the adventure.
5 out of 5 stars. Frank can always be counted on a for a fun, enjoyable book.
