They are getting darker and darker but I really enjoyed it, I am liking the direction the series is going. Plus everything is more action packed with these higher stakes.

I was so excited to discover that the National Parks had their own series of youth literature. It's everything I could ever dream! The authors weave educational facts in with their plot to keep kids interested and, hopefully, get them excited about visiting a National Park. My only concern was that the "foster kid" character was the catalyst for their problems in this story, but since it sounds like this family is featured in every book, I will reserve my judgment and hope that other foster children show up and are portrayed more positively.

I thought this was a really well done juvenile fiction book! I think I would have really liked this series if it had been around when I was a child.
