A wild and fun story

This book was very good, and I will be reading more book by this author, Willo Davis Roberts. Lewis and Alison (twins) are invited to go to Yellowstone Park with their new neighbors, the Rupes. There parents argree to let them go. The Rupe kids, Harry, Ariadne, and Billy will be going on the trip with Alison and Lewis. After packing everything they need in their motorhome, a man from the company which they got their motorhome from drives up and says that they need to trade motorhomes. When the Rupes ask why, the man says that another family needs this one because this one has an ice maker and water machine. Mr. Rupe refuses to trade and drives away to Yellowstone Park. Soon, though, Alison and Lewis relize that the same blue car has been following them. They learn that they work at the company where they got there motorhome, and that they hid money in their motorhome (a lot of money). Soon the Rupe kids, Alison, and Lewis are found kidnapped, and they need a plain to escape.

Good story...great author

This book was really fun to read. The plot was great, and the characters were easy to identify with. It was suspenseful, and the ending was fun. I liked how the characters worked together to solve this despite their differences. It was really neat.

Very exciting and dangerous,it was very good.

This book is about a very "lucky" boy who gets invited to go to Yellowstone Park with the Rupes! There's just one thing,he doesn't know what's going to hit him! It all begins when Mr. Rupe can't drive worth beans in the 4 parking space long R.V!The things in are normal life probably wouldn't even be close to this but not including that it was a "very very" good book!

I was in suspicion the whole time

This book kept me reading it because off all the mystery in it. First two young kids go in a motorhome with the terrible and unforgettable Rupes. I read this book in three days. I would defenitly reccomend this book.

Lewis has has a fun,exciting, and scary trip all at one time

I THINK THE BOOK WAS SO MUCH FUN TO READ!!! IT LEFT YOU IN SUSPENCE TO READ THE NEXT CHAPTER!! I COULD NEVER PUT IT DOWN!!
