The Wright cousins are back to solve another mystery in this fourth book of the Wright Cousins Adventures series, and this time, they are headed for a project to restore a fort that was used during the American Revolution. While they expect the hard work required of them in preparing the fort for its official unveiling on the Fourth of July, they are not prepared for the danger that awaits them. Hidden gold is suspected to exist somewhere within the fort, so treasure seekers of all kinds have the location in their sights. And when the guest of honor at the upcoming ceremony goes missing, it is up to the Wright cousins to help rescue her before it is too late. This book is an excellent continuation of the series, especially as the characters are now clear in the minds of readers. Journeying with the cousins to a new locale is quite enjoyable, as is the addition of a new character to the mix. Like the others in the series, this book is focused primarily on action and dialogue, and this–coupled with short chapters–keeps the narrative flowing. Though the characters are all in their teens, there is no strong language or adult themes, which makes the book accessible to a wide range of readers. This installment does include some danger and suspense, but there is a pleasant resolve at the end. Brief mentions of prayer and religion are found in the story, which serve mostly as anchors to the wholesome design of the narrative. Fans of Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, and even Scooby Doo will find something to love about this series, whether they read the books in or out of order. This is an enjoyable mystery adventure for both youth and teens, and it sets up well for subsequent installments.
