This was another fun and somewhat educational tale for youths. There is a great mystery to be solved, and it involves dragons! So exciting to read as these teens chase after the answer. The one gripe I have is the end was a little bit abrupt. Other than that this was a fun story. I really enjoyed the facts that were scattered throughout the story. Some I knew and others I did not. That's the thing about Ripley's, it has something for everyone no matter your age.

Good book
I wasn't the worst book i read in the world wasn't the best book I read either. I feel like the book was too far fetched that maybe should be more realistic more fun facts.

A blatant ad for Ripley's Believe it or Not. Supposedly a kid's book, but very poor.

Fun facts
After lizards, its now a dragon robot. Well, this is a light novel, a quick read, but many illustrations and many fun facts for children.

"The Dragon's Triangle" by Kay Wilkins is #2 in a series of middle grade targeted books tied to the Ripley's Believe it or Not empire. In this tale the fictional RBI (Ripley Bureau of Investigation) travels to Japan to investigate rumors of a fire-breathing dragon off the coast of Tokyo. While there, they were also going to inspect an alleged robotic invention to see if it might qualify for inclusion in the Ripley's database.
Each member of the RBI is a High School Student with unique super-human powers, such as extreme strength, control over the weather, magnetism, etc. They are headquartered on an island, where they attend a special school, but only 2 of their teachers have any idea about their super powers. The students must be very careful to not do anything which might alert others to their powers. On top of that, there is another organization, DUL (the Department of Unbelievable Lies), constantly trying to get false rumors into the Ripley database, just to humiliate them.
This was a fun story, which should be of considerable interest to youngsters from 5th Grade thru 8th, or thereabouts. I suspect this whole series would be ideal for a reluctant reader, and would recommend it most fervently for anyone who fits that description.
The book contains a number of illustrations, which helps maintain the flow of the story. After the story concludes, there are also quite a few "Believe it or Not" factoids, which should also interest reluctant readers. All in all, not a bad idea. Check it out!

This is book number 2 in this series this book is based on the group of teenagers went to the coast of Japan as it's being terrorised by a mysterious creature. The Group of teenagers were told of sightings of red glowing eyes that peer out of sea mists and an enormous beast that breathes fire and crashes cars.
But the trip to Japan turns out to surprise them and they finds something else out. If you want to found that out then read this book.
I enjoyed this book and went and brought a few more. I prove read it for my son to see if its appropriate or not and I actually enjoyed it myself. A little bit of a light fun mysterious read.

My sons and I enjoyed this one as much, maybe more, than the first. Personally, I kind of want to read the rest of the series. The premise is very fun: super-powered kids at a special school investigate mysteries that could be entered into the Ripley's Believe It or Not database, while all also evading their arch enemies. It has a rather Scooby-Doo element to it as well.
