Like all of the other books in this series, this one was amazing! Even as I get older, I don’t get tired of reading this series. One thing that could’ve been improved in the book was to slow down the action a bit, but besides that, I would highly recommend this one!

Familia Kidd se află în America, la Washington, acolo unde părinții urmează să creeze o expozitie cu Orașul Pierdut Paitti- o părticică din Peru- în cadrul Muzeului Smithsonian.
Deoarece directorul consideră (pe bună dreptate) că muzeul nu este un loc de joacă pentru copii, le interzice accesul, iar părinții se văd nevoiti să ii ceară unchiului Richie ajutorul de a sta cu ei.

Acestia le cer să descopere Comoara lui Mogsby, pentru a-și dovedi priceperea.

The Kidds kids are back in the United States, and this time it is because their family is all back together. Their parents are working on curating an exhibit based on relics from one of their most recent finds in South America at the Smithsonian in Washington DC. They are busy enough they decide the kids need a minder, and they turn to Uncle Richie, who is actually their mother's uncle. He is a bit of the black sheep of the family. The details are not really known, but it has something to do with the fact that he was a talented treasure hunter who once made a donation to a major Australian museum only to have to ask for it back when it came out that the items in the donation were actually fakes.
Uncle Richie, who is called Poppie by everyone he knows, ends up taking the kids on a series of little scavenger hunts around the country to keep them busy while also providing a little bit of fun. This is great for the Kidds kids, who also have a talent for treasure hunting.
As they are doing this, their parents are dealing with the fact some major scholars have started finding copies of the Bill of Rights that challenge what the actual intent of the First Amendment was mean to be. Depending on whether these new found documents are correct, much of what America stands for could be incorrect.
Not surprising, the Kidds' different projects will all intersect.
This is filled with the fun humor, interesting characters, and great illustrations that have made the books in this series so interesting. This definitely has the feel of the National Treasure films if they were designed specifically for an intermediate reader audience. Fans of the series will certainly find more to enjoy in this sixth book in the series, though I don't think readers would have had to read the earlier books to understand what is going on.
This is a fun addition to the series, and it ends in a way that certainly leaves it open for another volume.

In the book Treasure Hunters All-American Adventure, the main characters join their uncle for adventures. During the book, the Kidds parents are working on an exhibit in the Smithsonian Museum. The exhibit is about the Kidds previous adventure. While working there, the Kidds parents find out about another Bill of Rights! But the thing is, it’s not quite the same as the one we all know.
I think this book is an easy to read, fast-paced thrill ride. It has many twists and turns and a good plot. What I think is the most important thing is that it’s fun to read. In addition, something else that’s good about the book is that all the characters are easily likeable and the illustrations are so fantastic. They make the book very interesting. I couldn’t put it down. Every chapter is better than the last. You always get anxious about what’s going to happen next. This is a great and gripping book. It’s a remarkable story, fascinating, well written, and it makes you grip the edge of your chair at some parts.
This book is also quite funny. The language as well as the dialogue is realistic. It is easy to read, difficult to forget, and is amazing down to the last page. This story also includes educational parts. So, it’s both heart-warming, funny, and educational. Something that I find cool is that some of the illustrations show a change of mood.
My recommendation for people who might enjoy this book are people who like some history. Also, I think people who enjoy adventure, mystery, and humor might enjoy this book as well. In my opinion, I think this book should be read by nine to twelve year old kids. The text isn’t that hard to read so younger kids won’t have much of a hard time reading this legendary story. I think readers will be simply delighted with this story.

Treasure Hunters: All-American Adventure is a fast-paced thrill ride from start to finish. The main characters, Bick and Beck, are instantly likeable, as well as the entire Kidd crew. The narration is easy to read, which is going to be a plus for young readers who get easily distracted. The plot is well-written with many twists and turns that keep you turning the pages. There's a little bit of United States history tossed about in this story, which I thought it was nice touch to include into a children's book.
Overall, Treasure Hunters: All-American Adventure is a fun book to read on a hot summer day.

The latest adventure about the Kidd family. While their parents work on a Smithsonian exhibit, the kids join their uncle on the search for a lost ship in the Mojave Desert. What starts out as one adventure turns into several. As always the Treasure Hunter series is a delight and a fun read. Chris Grabenstein is my favorite of James Patterson’s “co-authors” for young adult books.

This is book 6 in the Treasure Hunter series. The Kidd family are in Washington D. C. to set up an exhibit at the Smithsonian about the lost city of gold. The kids are bored and get into some trouble. An uncle appears and the kids have some adventures with him. They help to save America’s Bill of Rights as we know it.

I am a pen pal with a 5th grade student in a local classroom. When I found out that he was reading this book, I decided to read it also. I can see why he is enjoying the book. It has just enough humor and adventure along with good vocabulary and history for them to enjoy.

Treasure Hunters All-American Adventure
If you think your life is action packed you’ll think twice after reading Treasure Hunters All-American Adventure by James Patterson. This is the most interesting action packed book I’ve ever seen. It also has a great theme for anyone who wants to accomplish something which is if you work together and don’t give up you can accomplish your goal.
The book starts out with Bick, Beck, Storm, and Tommy are stuck in Washington, DC, on vacation with their parents and are bored! You heard it right, they are bored in one of the most historical places and the place that has the Capitol, White House and supreme court. It’s also a place that has many museums and performing-arts venues. But that’s because they love to go on adventures and treasure hunt like they have in the rest of their books. But that might change when their Uncle shows up to babysit them when their parents need to work and they think they found one of the most insane conspiracy theories.
If you like even a little bit of mystery books you love to read this book. Although it does start out a little slow the rest of the book by far makes up for it. The middle and ending are filled with action and suspense like when they are hunting to find out if the bill of rights the USA has is fake or if it’s real.
I really liked Treasure Hunters All-American Adventure because I love mystery and books that have action and suspense which this book had a ton of. I would 100% recommend this incredible book Treasure Hunters All-American by James Patterson for anyone that likes suspense or mystery or lots of action.

Read
October 12, 2021In this treasure hunters book, it follows the Kidd family through washington DC, as the parents of the family, needed to settle a problem, the problem was, that a man that the story calls Mr.Hingleburt a friend of the dad of the Kidd family, tried to claim that the bill of rights never said that you could not have slaves. He did this by also claiming that the bill of rights was a fake and he had the real bill of rights (Which, coincidentally also claimed that you could have slaves). This brought a lot of controversy and fights as the Storm, Bick, Beck and Tommy race to find proof that the “new” bill of rights is a fake and a forgery.
So how did I like this book? I thought this book was definitely fun to read, I read the first book before this so I definitely had some prior knowledge that helped me understand the book, honestly I think the best age to read this is 9-12 years old and it was definitely a good book I can recommend. I couldn't really find any problems with it specifically. Honestly the reason I went for this book is because James Patterson is one of my favorite authors. Yeah so overall, I enjoyed the book, Four stars, bye.

The Kidd kids are in Washington, D.C. while their parents work on an exhibit at the Smithsonian and are bored to death. When their Uncle Richie pays them a visit and announces he's going on an adventure to find the "Lost Ship of the Desert"; they beg to go along with him and thus begins a chase--for treasure, for history, for fun! While the children are away their parents wind up dealing with an alternate Bill of Rights that pops up challenging the freedoms of America; the Kidds think it's fake but it sure does look good. Uncle Richie and the Kidd kids travel all over the U.S. digging up treasures, solving clues, encountering dubious other 'explorers', dealing with vanished treasure and counterfeit paintings, and avoiding a host of enemies.... And winding up on the same mystery as their parents. Each member of the Kidd family is invaluable to the search and contributes to the inevitable happy conclusion.
A great adventure and just as much fun for an adult as a youngster, it has great lessons and shows the importance of family.

I was disappointed in this book. I loved the previous 5 and I was looking forward to this one. The key for me is the integration of prose and illustrations. The illustrations not only move the story forward, but also is where a good percentage of the humor is found. Some of the drawings were also extremely detailed, causing me to pause to find some hidden “Easter eggs.” I also liked how text would wind around the picture, encompassing it.
Not so with this book. The story felt forced and there were several name brand “drops” that felt like commercials. We’re they? The Twin Tirades were awful.
The illustrations were half page and barely made me pause. Very simplistic compared to the previous 5 books.
Overall it felt like the whole thing was “phoned in.” Perhaps to meet a deadline.
I will be reading the next one but I have a feeling it is going to be the same thing, second verse.

I feel that this book was one of the worst of the series. To begin with, the summary on the back mentions nothing about the hunt for missing paintings and such, just the Bill of Rights (which is mostly focused on near the end.) As usual, chapters were short and Storm has an ego problem regarding her real name, which she doesn't want people to use. Why? Never explained throughout the Treasure Hunters series. And there's a continuity problem where they buy a bunch of food and drink only to heat up a clue on the wall (pg. 182), after this they buy more snacks without ever telling what happened to their previous acquisitions. Patterson isn't quite the greatest author, now that I realize it.

August 24, 2019I"m sorry to say that I never received a copy of James Patterson's new book, "All-American Adventure, so I have no review to share here. But now that I am aware that I might have received a copy of the book, I'll see if I can buy a copy. I am a fan of James Patterson, having read all his Maximum Ride stories, "The Murder of King Tut", "The House Next Door", and I even have a copy of his book, "Filthy Rich"...a biographical commentary on Jeffrey Epstein! Wow.. I haven't read that yet... but that is one of Mr. Patterson's newest books. Sorry I can't provide a review here, however!

James Patterson promotes literature and reading to people of all ages, and therefore writes a lot of books for younger readers, or James Patterson writes a lot of books for younger readers and so therefore promotes reading for all ages.
I think the second may be more accurate, but the big issue is it appears that he treats his readers, the young people, like idiots.
This was a bit of a mess, and the series, which has a great idea of this family seeking treasures, is so like Patterson's empire, great in idea, but abysmal in execution.

4 stars.
I really enjoy this series. It is well written and fun to read. It has action, adventure and gave me a few giggles along the way. What else could you want from a Middle Grade book (well except maybe dragons but that's probably pushing it)
Definitely recommend this series. All the books are pretty quick reads and easy to get into which is great if you are in a reading slump or your attention is easily distracted.
