Author: Bruce Covill
Illustrator: John Berg
Publisher:HMH Books for Young Readers

Summary:  A brother and sister buy a box. When they open it they find 2 wood layers under the first layer – a secret compartment! Do you know what is in the box?               

Critical review: The book made me feel happy,sad,funny, amused and mad. The characters’ names are Sarah , Anthony , Gasper , Albert , Ludmilla , Melisande , Bob , Marten and Wenter. My favorite character is Bob because he is half-wolf/half-dog and he is crazy (in a good way!). He is my favorite character because he did a cannon ball at a monkey.  I would recommend other people read this book because it’s a good book, it’s exciting, adventurous, and I wanted to just read it all in one go! People who like exciting, adventure books will like this book, although it’s pretty much a kid book so maybe not all grown ups will like it.
