Ricky and his friends are off to Disney World. While on the plane, Joel manages to become friends with the giant of a man sitting next to him. When the man is arrested as soon as they land, the Accidental Detectives learn that he's an ex-con, returning home from prison for murder. The next day, Lisa, Ricky, and Joel are kidnapped and taken to a small island in a swamp. Guarded by an alligator, they must figure out what their captors want and find a way to escape.I read this book once several years ago, and I had forgotten just how intense it is. Rereading it this week, I could hardly put it down. The story moves from one predicament to another with hardly a chance to breath. Naturally, I finished it fast to find out just what was going on and how the gang would get through this adventure safe and sound.This is a thriller for kids, and any fan of action will love it. With a couple good twists thrown in for good measure, it should please any one looking for a good read.
