What did I like? I think of all the books in this series, this one is my favorite, so far. It seems the kids were more active and more mature in the story. I loved the play with the rescued Ronald. This is such a good series for children to learn how to help others and be responsible. I really look forward to the next book as the older me just refuses to grow up and these books are so interesting. I shared it with my grandchildren over the phone today and I could hear them taking in their breath and telling me not to stop as they wanted to hear the whole thing today.
What will you like? From the standpoint of a parent, you will love to see your children of all ages enjoying these healthy and clean books. They are easy to read and will keep their interest till the last page. As an adult, your going to enjoy them just as much as the kids do. Tell your friends and share these books, we need to encourage the author to continue writing them. As a member of the ARC group, I received this from the author for an honest review with no other compensation.

I don't do book reviews......
I don't do book reviews like you keep seeing, as I find that some give too much of the plot away and I personally hate that, as it makes the book not worth reading. I much prefer to take the authors back cover write up as a review as it can either intrigue you enough to read the book of provide you enough information to make you decide that the book is not for you.
My review rules are: The more stars, the more I liked it.
If there are too many typos or errors the less stars I give
If the storyline or plot is poor or contains too many errors, the characters are too weak, the ending lacking something, then the less stars I give.
Simple, uncomplicated and to the point without giving anything away.
Some of the books I read have been given to me by the author as a pre-release copy and this does not bias my reviews in any way

Mystery of the Underwater Car by Paul Moxham
The kids are just biking around when they see a van and hear noises inside. They are able to discover a man with handcuffs in a car in the back of the van.
Will was able to get the men out of the way by leading them away from the scene on his way to notify the cops.
The other 3 kids get into the van and talk to the inventor of the car to find out it's features. They are all brought to a house and locked in.
They soon discover things to help in getting away and they are chased.
Didn't see this ending happening in the way it did. They are top notch solvers.

Cute realistic story.
I liked the children. I found their choices realistic for the time. The car did go underwater, but not successfully. I liked the town they lived in. I liked that their adventure wrapped up safely.

Good
Quite a nice book with wild imagination in some parts and you can literally feel the essence of the climax while reading the book.
