Scooby-Doo! and the Phony Fortune Teller

The Mystery, Inc. gang is traveling aboard an old-fashioned steamboat to have a good old time and eat plenty of food. But something's strange when the star of one of the ship's shows, Madame Aurora predicts that a completely unique computer chip will disappear and it does. But the chip isn't the only thing missing, so is Madame Aurora. It's up to Scooby and the gang to find the false fortune teller and get back the stolen chip.This is one of the most contemporary of the Scooby stories in this series I have read. A few years ago, the plot would have seemed somewhat far-fetched. However, with the changing times and the increase in security all around, the plot couldn't be more timely.

I purchased Scooby-Doo! and the Phony Fortune-Teller and my daughter (8) loved it. It kept her interest and made reading fun. Our son (10) even found it very interesting. Since they watch Scooby-Doo on Cartoon Network, it was easy to visualize all the characters. My daughter wants to use this book for a school book report.
