Reviews

[Brodie Miller]

Really good action book love the scenes and all the comotion

[Sean Harding]

The fifth of the twelve extreme adventures about Sam Fox that I have read, and as the saying goes if you have read one you have read them all.
There are more explosions, and action packed sequences, all told in a fast paced manner.
Not terrible, but as said, the books blend together and if you were asked which action sequence belonged to which book, it would be a struggle to differentiate.

[Will Buckley]

This book was unlike any other because in this one Sam had to save someone older than him while escaping from an erupting volcano along with other animals who have boarded his boat

[Lynda]

Another fantastic edition to the 'Extreme Adventure' series! Sam Fox's class trip to Borneo involves an immediate blast as the story begins - a real-life volcano erupts, and Sam and his teacher Mr. Griffin, are stranded. As usual, the action-packed survival adventure includes one nasty problem after another - but all is well in the end. I loved the fast-past, thrilling ride and the laugh-out-loud moments. Each book in the series is terrific, and this is one of the best yet!
