INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Cole, Frank L.

The World's Greatest Adventure Machine

(4) 4-6 CastleCorp's roller coaster promises to be the "ride of a lifetime." Four kids are selected to ride its test run. Of course, the ride isn't what it seems, and the children are soon face-to-face with their deepest fears. Though entertaining, the story stumbles a bit in its attempt to pay tribute to both Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Crichton's Jurassic Park.
