An adventure novel about four lucky kids, and a mysterious but thrilling ride for fans of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Jurassic Park.

CastleCorp and the famous Castleton brothers are unveiling the World’s Greatest Adventure Machine! The roller coaster is an experience like no other, and four lucky kids have won the chance to be the first to ride it.

There’s Trevor, whose latest stunt got him in trouble at school...again. There’s Devin, whose father is pushing him to be the next Internet sensation. Nika’s wealthy grandfather isn’t too pleased about her participation. And Cameron, he’ll be the first to tell you, is a certified genius.

The whole world is watching. But as the kids set off on their journey, they begin to realize that there is perhaps more to their fellow contest winners than meets the eye. And the Adventure Machine? It might just have a mind of its own.

Join the contestants on their wild ride if you dare. Your adventure starts now!

Great book!

This story is full of ups and downs (pun intended) that kept my kids riveted. Even my teens got into the book. I really liked the “life lessons” that the book taught without being too pushy (90 sitcoms style). It was great!! We’ll listen again on our next road trip.

The audio is great. I think it read a little slow but I just sped it up and it turned out fine.

Great listen! A fantastic story.

My family and I loved this. The characters are great, the adventure is fun, and the humor balances the suspense perfectly. There were a couple of choices that the narrator made that I didn't love, but they were personal preferences and the story was strong enough that it didn't matter. My children didn't have any problems with the narrator at all, and they asked if there was a second book as soon as we finished listening.

What a wonderful adventure!

Such a great book for young readers. It’s exciting and easy to get hooked. The plot is easy to understand but has a lot of twists and turns that keep you guessing. My 3rd grade students and I loved it!

Awesome book!

This book was full of adventure and mystery!

Four kids brought in, each with unique abilities, to be the first on an all new ride with all new technology!

Nothing is as it seems and, there is a bit of deception fueling the whole thing.

Really good book about finding friendship and being who you are.

I loved how the narrator brought each character their own unique voice. He did well bringing the story to life!

Fun!

Frank L. Cole has written a wonderful adventure story that kids will have a delightful time reading. The story is about a group of kids that become friends and their adventures. This story is humorous, filled with friendship and lots of fun. There are several main characters of the story and it’s great to see the perspective of each. This story has a bit of a feel similar to that of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as well as at the end leaves readers with several unanswered questions. Overall this is a fun and delightful story that young readers are sure to enjoy.

The audible narrator, Mike Golczynski, was fun and entertaining reader. He really brings Cole’s story to life by using different voices for the various characters throughout the story. His voice is likeable and keeps listeners enthralled throughout the entirety of the story.

8 year old's review

I've now listened to this twice with my 6yo. He was sad when it ended because the status changed to "Finished" and he was afraid that meant we couldn't listen to it anymore. He was super excited when I told him we could listen again. He immediately fell in love with the characters and their individual personalities and traits. He even sketched out what he imagined them to look like and a couple of scenes from the story.

The story takes off right away as you start to learn about the characters and their adventure. Even as an adult, I found myself drawn in and wondering what would happen next. It's so nice to have a book that spans age groups that my son & I could both enjoy together. The narrator is great, too. He does an excellent job of evoking the individuality of the characters.

We loved it!
