My review
The Rescue Begins in Delaware is a very cute, brother and sister to the rescue of their parents book. This book reads very fast and is a fun adventure story. I loved how the end of the book had fun facts about a real character in the story and the state the kids visited. I enjoyed how the kids had to "return" the items their parents took from history before they could get them back.
This book is a fun start to the series!
4 out of 5 stars.
