This book makes us want to get outside and have our own National Park adventures." - Rianna Z., Minnesota, Mother of boys ages 6 and 9 "The farther the series goes, the better it gets. Book three is more dangerous, more exciting, and has more funny parts. I like that you don't know what is going to happen. I can't wait to read more. You should definitely read this book. It's fun because the chapters set in 1880 show you how some of the clues got there. It's even better than the first two books." - Patrick Z., Grade 4, age 9 "Memory Maker!
