most wild and rugged wilderness of the national parks.

"The farther the series goes, the better it gets. Book three is
more dangerous, more exciting, and has more funny parts. I like
that you don't know what is going to happen. I can't wait to read
more. You should definitely read this book. It's fun because the
chapters set in 1880 show you how some of the clues got there.
It's even better than the first two books."
