Review: Adventure at Simba Hill


The Adventure at Simba Hill (Kari + Lucas Mysteries, #3)
Adventure at Simba Hill
Susan Runholt

Lucas and Kari are two 14-year-old friends and amateur sleuths from Minnesota, who get the chance to travel to Kenya with Kari's uncle. Uncle Geoff is an archaeologist studying ancient artifacts at a place known as Simba Hill. While he is working the girls will have the opportunity to go on safari and at some point visit the archaeological site and see more of Uncle Geoff's work.

Once they arrive, they learn from a colleague of Uncle Geoff that there has been trouble at the excavation site. When the driver at the game park and lodge where Lucas and Kari are staying is accused of the crime, the girls decide to investigate further, hoping to uncover the real culprit.

Adventure at Simba Hill is an excellent book for the young reader. It's full of fun and adventure, with good descriptions of Kenya, its people, culture, and environment. Kari and Lucas make this a memorable tale and one that young readers with interest in travel and adventure are sure to enjoy.
