In their third outing, amateur sleuths Kari and Lucas accompany Kari's archaeologist uncle to Kenya. All the new sights--and Runholt weaves in plenty of them--mesmerize the fourteen-year-old girls ("We don't have that in Minnesota!"). Though it takes a while for the mystery (who's looting African artifacts?) to kick into high gear, fans of the series will enjoy the girls' latest adventures.
