Quick Summary: A wit and get children's fiction read
My Review: The Explorers: The Reckless Rescue by Adrienne Kress is installment #2 in The Explorers series.
About the Book: In this exciting book, readers get to tag along on a rescue mission of sorts. They get to travel to different destinations in the world and ponder a mystery. With intriguing characters and rich plot points, this book will lure young readers in without fail.
My Final Say: The book was easy to pick up on and follow, but I wish I had started with book 1. I felt like I started behind and tried to catch up (that's totally on me). It promises to be a good series.
Other: I would love to listen to an audio version of this book.
Rating: 4/5
Recommend: Yes
Audience: Y
Series: Yes
Status: Upper ES to MS
Level: G
Sincere appreciation is extended to the author, to publishers (Random House, Children's, Delacorte Books for Young Readers), and to NetGalley. Thank you for the opportunity to review this work.

This book starts RIGHT up where the first left off–like, actually! Mid-sentence! And I’m so glad because the cliffhanger in the first one was so intense! But here we are, right where we left off: Sebastian is kidnapped, and Evie has to figure out how to save him (hence the title…). Like the first book, I found that the snarky narrator, silly footnotes, and ridiculous situations was humor that is right up my alley, causing many laugh out loud moments, but let’s not forget that the story is also a nerve-racking adventure story also! Other than the humor and adventure, I also really like the characters in this story. Evie and Sebastian complement each other so well, and we really get to see them shine in this book as individuals since they are separated.

In case you were left hanging after the first book in this series, no worries this one picks up right away and doesn't stop until the last word. Another fun mystery that is full of suspense, readers will enjoy being back with Sebastian and Evie!

* An ARC ebook from Netgalley*
This was a very interesting and enjoyable read. It kept me interested the whole time. I wanted to see how the story will evolve for our heroes. I also really liked that we were watching the story simultaneously from the eyes of two characters (Sebastian and Evie). The story was funny and the characters were well developed. A very good feature are the illustrations.
In general I really enjoyed this book and it made me curious to read also the first book of the series and the ones that will come

I can’t get that 8 hours of my life back. I could’ve just listened to parts 1 and 6 of the 6 parts of the audiobook and been totally fine. The first book in the series was great for both adult and child listeners. This one was not. My kids still liked it, but I’m done! They can read the rest of the series and give me the Cliff notes version.
