My Take on the Book
I truly enjoyed the first book that I read from this author, capture the flag, and because of this I was very excited to be able to read this next book of hers. In reading this book I have to say that it did not disappoint. The story itself was a lot of fun and the adventures that the three members of the Silver Jaguar society have I once that I have to say as a reader that I loved living vicariously through. I also have to comment on the characters themselves. All three of the main characters are ones that were quite well developed and were ones that I and my eldest daughter could definitely relate to. My eight and a half-year-old loves a good mystery and this book provided this. On top of a mystery you also get suspense and adventure that the characters are put into throughout the story which makes the book even more fun to read and experience. Overall, this is a great book and one that I would highly recommend to others.
