In this close-your-eyes-and-hold-your-breath adventure, teenage
siblings Carson and C.J. Crenshaw are scheduled to spend two weeks
at Camp Remnant on Crater Island while their father, archeologist
Tommy Crenshaw, searches for the Book of Life-a rare and priceless
artifact that may have surfaced there. At Camp Remnant, brother and
sister team up with a bunch of misfits to compete in the Adventure
Challenge. Team captain Ollie Patrolli is determined to win, but
his dreams might be dashed when Carson and C.J. find a puzzling
note and are convinced that someone has kidnapped their father. The
teens band together to win the Challenge while at the same time
rescuing Tommy. Along the way, they encounter choices that may land
them in a whole lot of trouble and realize that the Book of Life
may be their ultimate downfall. The result is a story chock-full
with hilarious twists and hair-raising suspense that will make your
pulse race and your spine tingle

Can the legendary trickster be out-tricked?
All the young men had gathered in the village courtyard to hear the Chief’s pronouncement: Whoever guesses his daughter’s name will have her hand in marriage, inherit half his riches, and become the next Chief. No one outside the palace had ever heard the royal daughter’s name.
In a stroke of luck Ananse the spider discovers the secret.
“I, Ananse the most wise . . . the most clever . . . I alone know the name of the Chief’s daughter! . . .”
But clever Lizard has plans of his own. Pat Cumming’s lively retelling and vibrant illustrations capture all the mischief and humor of Ananse, one of the most popular characters of West African lore.
