Review:

Trevor Isaacs sometimes gets into trouble. He had no fear and this condition, at least that’s what his mother called it, was because of a misfiring amygdala. His problem of suspension from school was put on a back burner when Doug Caselton of Castle Corp stopped by to tell Trevor and his mom about the contest he’d won. Trevor and three others won a spot for the maiden voyage of the Adventure Machine. Cameron Kiffing’s mom was reminding him not to take off his clothes when they had company. Apparently, Cameron felt restricted in his clothing when he was working on complex equations. Devin Drobbs was a legendary gamer and social media star at the Giggling Gargoyle Arcade. Instead of entertaining his fans he’d read his father’s face when he received the winning call. Nika Pushkin watched a video on her grandfather’s private jet of Doug Caselton telling her she had won the contest, over and over. Her grandfather offered her anything she wanted rather than have her ride on the Adventure Machine. He wanted his little princess to be safe under his care. All of the parents wanted their kids to be safe.

The Adventure Machine is like riding a roller coaster. Riders wear a special neoprene and malleable titanium suit that connects with the machine for a thrilling ride experience. The machine actually reads the riders mind. As the first run begins, the riders encounter VIC, the voice and interactive brain of the machine, that will be their guide on this new adventure. As the big adventure begins not everything is going as planned. The team gets thrown off the ride in a jungle and have to fend for themselves, with VIC’s guidance, and they soon learn that VIC is in control with a mind of its own. With the world watching how will this team find their way back home?

Author Frank Cole has created a fun read that will engage young readers. This fast-paced read allows readers to feel as though they are on a roller coaster ride. The lovable characters are unique and add a bit of feistiness to the adventure. This book would be a great classroom read-a-loud.
