This books will tug you in and keep you reading from the first page to the last page. Addison and Molly live with their Aunt Delia because their parents died in a tragic accident. One night, they go to visit their Uncle Nigel who works a museum in New York City. While Addison and Molly are down the hall grabbing supper, they see scary men kidnapping their Uncle Nigel. Uncle Nigel had just discovered one of the keys to finding the treasure of the Incas , and the man that kidnapped him wants those clues.

Addison and Molly escape and manage to make it home to Aunt Delia’s apartment where they discover that Aunt Delia has been kidnapped too. They manage to buy plane tickets to South America. They manage to reek all kinds of havoc as they steal, borrow and lie their way across South America while chasing keys to the Incan treasure. Will they be able to find the treasure and set Uncle Nigel and Aunt Delia free?

Just a note, all the deception and clear disregard for lives and property of others makes me choose not to recommend this book. However, the plot and character are very interesting and engaging.
