OLDER FICTION
(4) YA National Parks Mystery series. On a family trip to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Jack and Ashley Landon meet nine-year-old Danny Tran. While Jack is flattered by the younger boy's eager admiration, talkative Ashley is annoyed by the chatty know-it-all. The youngsters' realistic interactions and the text's interesting cultural and scientific facts counterbalance the feeble mystery plot. An insert of color photos of Hawaiian animals, vegetation, and volcanoes is included.
