This book was entered in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards. *** Thank you to the author, Jemma Hatt, for providing me with an advanced e-copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. I’m looking forward to when my nephew is old enough to enjoy this series with me (he’s only two right now) – storytime is going to be full of adventures! Children grow and change and it’s fun to see this progression. Both Rufus and Daisy go through their own character growth and are both different from the start of the story to the end, but in a completely believable way. But there is still enough time for character development and growth. The story is the perfect length for kids and the book is quick-paced so no one will get bored. From responsible Lara (and her loyal dog Barney) to prankster Rufus, from steady Tom to love-struck Daisy, I think many children will see a bit of themselves in these characters. But behind the shenanigans, there are some really fun characters making up this book series. I love the sense of adventure and craziness that is present throughout The Adventurers books. ![]() The group manage to get their hands on a red antique double-decker bus (the one pictured on the cover) – how successful do you think they will be trying to sneak around in that thing? Trust me, the twists and turns are fast and twisty as The Adventurers discover secret after secret. What follows is a fun, action-packed chase through the city of London. London is revealed to be the ‘city of secrets’ in this adventure. ![]()
