INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Bramucci, Stephen

The Danger Gang and the Pirates of Borneo!

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Arree Chung. Eleven-year-old Ronald Zupan sets out with the requisite sidekicks to rescue his artifact-hunting parents, enduring pirates, poison arrows, a plane crash, and more. Told in alternating voices, Ronald exaggerates the story while his butler, Thomas, tries to keep things grounded in reality. Accompanied by appealing spot- and full-page black-and-white illustrations, the adventures become rather tedious in spite of their variety.
