The Adventures of Vin Fiz by Clive Cussler

This bool is about twin 11 year-olds who live in Castroville, California, that survives on artichokes. While Lacey and Casey were working on their plantation, a mysterious stranger, named Sucoh Sucop, agrees to work with their parents in exchange for food and shelter. When Sucoh Sucop leaves, he leaves the twins a gift. The gift turns out to be a box that changes toys into usable objects. Soon the twins are traveling, with their dog Floopy, cross country. They travel on an old fashioned, Wright Brothers air plane.

I was not impressed by this book. It had too much adventure and it was hard to follow. Plus the scenes were very similar and it was too predictible. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy adventure but it was too predictible. I like the auther's adult books. I do although recommend it to readers who REALLY enjoy constent adventure.
