Review of The Curse of Calamity Wells by Robert Vaughn

 

Details About the Book

The Last Chance Detectives book series is an exciting blend of action, adventure, and mystery. Set in the fictional Southwest town of Ambrosia, the four young detectives- Mike, Winnie, Ben, and Spence- use an old B-17 bomber as their clubhouse, where they work to solve cases and learn spiritual truths along the way.

Mike Fowler's father has been missing for years. Will the Last Chance Detectives learn the truth behind their biggest mystery?

When some important government officials show up at the Last Chance Diner, it seems like all hope is lost. Then Mike discovers a long-lost note in his father's handwriting, and the young detectives embark on what could be their most dangerous adventure yet.

Mike, Ben, and Spence head out to the desert, to a place that Winnie's grandmother says is cursed: the old mining town of Calamity Wells. Winnie stays behind at first, but when an old foe shows up it becomes clear that the four friends will have to work together to solve this mystery-and to stay alive.

My Thoughts on the Book

The Curse of Calamity Wells is a middle-grade kids' book that is action-packed and filled with faith.  It is Book 8 in the series. Even as an adult, I enjoyed reading the book. It has a positive message about friendships. The Last Chance Detective kids won't stop until the mystery is solved.  The Last Chance Detective kids are courageous and trust in God during their worst circumstances.

There are lots of surprises, twists, and turns throughout the book.  It had a lot of emotion, great characters, and the description of the area made you feel like you were there.  It has clean content that will keep children on the edge of their seats.  The ending is great. 

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher; a positive review is not required. All opinions are my own.
