This is the last book of the series, and you will feel like you have missed a lot if you haven’t read the others in the series, but it is not hard to pick up on what’s going on if you start with this one. The characters are likeable; they were all very enthusiastic and optimistic that Max and Lola would succeed. Max and Lola found good solutions to their problems and kept trying even when things were hard. Their adventure was very exciting, full of action, and hard to forget, as well as being very funny!
