I didn't read books 1 or 2, but this story is such that you don't really have to. Of course, the bad guys would probably seem meaner if I had. Lots of LDS lore sprinkled throughout. Good storyline.
This is a suspenseful and adventurous book. Jeff, Shauna, Brandon, and Meg are finally going on their free cruise with their family, when on the night before boarding the cruise ship the ( just Jeff, Shauna, Brandon, and Meg) go on a yacht their old friend wants to show them some stuff and people. They see Dr. Anthony, a person who tried to steal an old valuable book and would do anything to get it from them, who had been in jail for a year, and they are scared and hide on the boat. The boat leaves, and they end up meeting up with an old tribe that they know from an earlier vacation, and the tribe wants to stay hidden. The children and friends from the tribe have to stop the other people from bringing home evidence, but Dr. Anthony is willing to kidnap...
The plot is about like the second book, out there, but quick to start. This time the book is teaching about the Book of Mormon being Another Testament of Jesus Christ. Again, not too obnoxious for a book with a goal of teaching you something.
I like these books. In this one, the four oldest children in the family accidentally get trapped on a luxury yacht and find themselves back in Siberia. It's got a lot of adventure and also helps build a testimony of the Book of Mormon.
I enjoyed this installment of the series more than I did the previous. While it still feels a little far fetched, I liked it enough that I'd recommend it. It will make more sense if read after the previous installment (actually both, since one of the characters returns).
