The science topic of the book is cryptozoology.

I really like how Roland Smith ends every chapter with a cliff hanger so the reader always wants to keep reading. There is also humor which makes the book funny.

The main characters are Marty, Grace, and Wolfe. Marty is adventurous, likes exploring, and loves being in the wilderness. Marty is a lot like me which allows me to relate to the book. Grace is very cautious and sensitive. Wolfe is mysterious, and hids a lot of things from Marty and Grace.

The book takes place in the Congo Rainforest and the nearest village is about 20 miles away. Roland Smith describes the setting fantastically and I could picture it very well.

The book starts out with Marty and Grace learning their mom and dad have gone missing so the have to live at their uncle Wolfe's house. The catch is they don't know their uncle at all and his house is on a remote island in Washington. Marty is awed at the amazing island, but Grace is really freaked out and wants some answers. She accidentally finds herself eavesdropping and finds out Wolfe is a cryptizoologist, which is a person who studies hidden animals such as bigfoot and the loch ness monster. Wolfe's next assignment is to look for a dinosaur in the Congo Rainforest. Marty and Grace get on a plane with Wolfe and his crew. The plane will drop Wolfe and his team off in the Congo then take Marty and Grace back home to England. Marty and Grace accidentally fall from the plane into the Congo, luckily they survive because of some parachutes. Now Marty and Grace are stuck running from a rival scientist through the second largest rainforest in the world. Little do they now there's a very big surprise waiting for them.

I think someone would want to read this book because once you pick it up you can't put it down.

I recommend this book to people that like exciting books because this book is filled with action and adventure.
