Fantastic outer space page turner!

Just finished reading #2 Lost in Space: The New Journeys, THE PASSENGERS, and it was fabulous! Anyone who has seen the big screen movie or is familiar with the classic camp series of the 60's, this is a treat to read. The continuing journey of the Robinson clan, with Mj. West and villainous Dr. Smith, aboard the Jupiter 2, as they take on a couple of space orphans. Unbeknownst to the crew, these orphans are not what they appear: instead of wayward, innocent children, they are dangerous creatures that threaten to destroy the ship and all its occupants. The story is mostly told from the point of view of young Will Robinson, as he and his trusty robot companion suspect something strange about the orphans and implement a plan to expose their evil ways. An absolute page turner that is surely to please all adventure seeking young minds. I loved it and look forward to the next installment of Lost in Space!
