My son, a third-grader, picked out this book from the local bookstore. He loved it and wanted me to read it. I thought it was a fun read, especially as a nice, light summer read.
The story is told through two twins: one twin provides the book's text, while the other twin provided the book's pictures. There are 70 chapters in the book, but each is a short episode of their epic, treasure-hunting journey. It's good for reading a small bit when you only have a few moments to spare. Many of the chapters end on a slight cliff-hanger, which drives the reader to want consume more of the story.
I enjoyed reading this book, and when my son picks out the next in the series, I will most likely read that one, too.

A fun book to reread from my childhood. It's just as good as I remember.
It won't qualify as great literature, but it was a fun action-packed adventure novel. I'm pretty sure I'm going to hand this one off to Bennett because I think he'd really like it.

This is Ridiculous. Even by middle grade standards, I had a very hard time holding onto my eyebrows. Without intervention, they’d be halfway to Jupiter by now.
Really. Just.
Bad.

I loved this book! It was just the kind of book that wanted to read!
The Kidds/kids seem really fun and adventurous. Though I wouldn't particularly want to have a photographic memory.
It was a little bit complicated (for me) - because I wasn't even halfway through the book and I forgot why they were even doing what they were doing. But that doesn't count - maybe it's just that I have the opposite of a photographic memory.
All in all, it's a great read and I will definitely re-read this.

Supposedly written by a twelve year old boy and illustrated by his twin sister. This is a fast moving adventure story which should be appealing to some middle schoolers. I can see it being especially good for those reluctant readers.
James Patterson has been one of my favorite authors after I read his book “Jackie Ha-ha”. I loved all of the illustrations in the book and I only made the book better for me. I think this would be a great read for any young reader or someone who needs a quick easy series to read.
My eight yr old son loved this book! Can't wait for the next one!
This is a really, really, easy read as it is intended for children in elementary. But, I have always wanted to read this book and only just got around to it today. The chapters are short and easy to read (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). I think for a children's book, it is still very interesting and a overall good book.
