Title: Mountain Cabin Mystery Author: Max Elliot Anderson Publisher: Tweener Press ISBN: 0-9729256-3-5 Genre: Inspirational/Juvenile Fiction Twelve-year-old Scott Holcomb sent his application in for the wilderness adventure three years in a row. This year he timed it so that his application and those of his two best friends, Al and Benji, arrive as soon as the company sponsoring the trip started accepting them. His ploy worked. Scott, Al, and Benji, are accepted into the program--if they pass a wilderness survival exam. When they passed the test, all three boys were ecstatic. Finally, they get to live their dream. But when they arrive at the mountains, it doesn’t take long for curiosity and a Kodak moment to lure them off the trail, away from their group, and into the wilderness. Surrounded by a dense fog, they can’t find their group. Making some errors in judgment, the boys soon find themselves in serious trouble. Will their ingenious thinking help the searchers to find them? Or will they be bear bait? Mountain Cabin Mystery is an exciting read, guaranteed to keep your tween boy entertained for hours. My son lives for these books to arrive. Scott and his friends make some decisions that are not very intelligent, but that is realistic for boys their age. I did find some of the things that happened in the book a stretch of the imagination. Even then I couldn’t put Mountain Cabin Mystery down, and I am anxiously awaiting the next book. I liked that they showed some distress symbols in the back of the book for boys to experiment with. Mountain Cabin Mystery is written for boys between the ages of eight and twelve who don’t like to read (but those who do like to read love them too!) The Tweener Press books should be available at a Christian Bookstore, but if they aren’t you can order them directly from the company at www.gospelstoryteller.com.
