Entertaining story about 12-year-old Adam Story, who is in a secret race to be the first 12-year-old to travel around the world alone. He's racing against other 12-year-olds from other time zones, and it's all part of a Great Global Game. He gets to spend as much money as he wants, he gets to travel first class, and everywhere along the way he runs into people who are determined to keep him from winning the race. Upper elementary kids may think it's really cool. MVP or the Magellan Voyage Project is a race that Adam unknowingly becomes part of during the summer. He is approached by a strange man who challenges his to travel around the world in less than forty days. If he accomplishes the task he'll get fame, adventure, and four million dollars. Soon Adam is off on the journey, but he realizes there is a lot about the GGG(Great Global Game) he wasn't told. I pictured the scene from the movie, Rat Race, when all the rich folks were watching the progress of the racers and betting on everything as I read parts of the book. This was a really enjoyable read about a resourceful kid. (Although twelve seems old for someone to be in fifth grade). It is a quick, easy read and will be sure to appeal to the younger Caudill crowd. Plus, you learn something about geography, travel, and world cultures along the way! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
