On a once-in-a-lifetime race through the animal kingdom, it takes smarts, strength, and skill to win! The team is climbing to new heights!The last leg of the race lands teams in the Himalayas, one of the most treacherous mountain ranges in the world. But when a rockslide disaster threatens an old friend, Russell and the team must decide whether to go on a rescue mission or race for the win...
A good finish to this fun group of books! Missing some connection and depth as far as well-developed characters are concerned, but I still highly recommend this series to my students for those who are into travel, adventuring, and animals!
Not only a story about getting along and being reliable, but also a competitive adventure, and - not least - a nature guide to the area of the current race. I stumbled on this one but would like to read them from the first. Worthy.
A solid finish to the series. There was a lot of animals and a lot of teamwork.
I still didn't like the addition of Eliza. She didn't do anything for the story except take away the feeling of team. She knew animal stuff just like Mari but without Mari's manners or sense of fairplay.
I do really like that the story turned around what had happened between Russell and Dallas. After all of these adventures, these kids will be able to go home and be friends again.
