Rating: 4 of 5 stars
Book Description: An adventure novel about four lucky kids and a mysterious, but thrilling ride for fans of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Jurassic Park!
CastleCorp and the famous Castleton brothers are unveiling the World's Greatest Adventure Machine! The roller coaster is an experience like no other, and four lucky kids have won the chance to be the first to ride it.
There's Trevor, whose latest stunt got him in trouble at school again. There's Devin, whose father is pushing him to be the next Internet sensation. Nika's wealthy grandfather isn't too pleased about her participation. And Cameron, he'll be the first to tell you, is a certified genius.
The whole world is watching. But as the kids set off on their journey, they begin to realize that there is perhaps more to their fellow contest winners than meets the eye. And the Adventure Machine? It might just have a mind of its own.
Join the contestants on their wild ride if you dare. Your adventure starts now!
My Thoughts: This book an adventure thrill ride for children. Four misfit children are brought together to be the first people to try out a new ride, the Adventure Machine. Each of the children entered a contest for the honor. The ride doesn't turn out as expected, leading the children on a "true" adventure.
I can see children glued to this book. It is well written and sparks imagination. The children all have problems, none of them are perfect, I think that would make them a little more relatable to readers.

I think my son would love this, and I have been looking for a book to read with him. I haven't gotten him to love the same books as me...hehe. He also hates reading because he has Dyslexia but he loves to be read to, so it all works out.
