Review
"Anderson never takes his tongue out of his cheek in this uproariously entertaining combination of Indiana Jones, the Stratemeyer syndicate, and andlt;Iandgt;MADtvandlt;/Iandgt;...Sly jabs at the overused tropes and cliched conventions of the action genre will surely be appreciated by the more sophisticated reader, and there is enoguh slapstick humor here to go around for those with less ironic tastes; any youngster looking for a laugh and an adventure will not be disappointed."--andlt;Iandgt;The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Booksandlt;/Iandgt;
