Whoa! This is the closest I've ever come to reading a book and feeling as though I was watching a movie. It's really well done. One minute Duffy and Sumo Puggs, brothers, are at school doing the usual, and the next they find themselves sent off for a ten-day visit to their Aunt Lulu on Kocahaha, a tropical island. Now, they've heard of this aunt before and when they arrive they decide quickly that something strange is going on. The graphic pictures in this story are vivid. It's like watching a movie unfold frame by frame. Breaking news ' the volcano is about to erupt. So they're off to sea - a helper, a climber, a leader and the boys as bait. The Green Magma Mining company may be on to an incredible substance that can change the world.
