MY REVIEW

I absolutely loved this book, which I plan to read the whole series. I haven’t actually read the books in order, this is book 2. I have read book 1 which my review is coming shortly!

Treasure Hunt is an adorable short 113 page turning story.

All middle grade and young children, that love reading about aliens are in for a real treat, with this fantastic novel.

It will become clear why this story is called Treasure Hunt. Twelve years old twins, Finola and Zane are aliens, from planet Sevent.

On Earth, they have been on the news. People are looking for the alien twins, that came to earth with their mother in a spaceship.

Their Dad is hiding from them. Twins aliens, Finola and Zane are on a mission to find clues to try to find their Dad, that leads them to a castle.

When they visit the castle Finola and Zane get involved in a treasure hunt, where they are following clues, but who is leaving them clues in the messages to follow? And will they find their Dad?

Could the alien twins win the treasure hunt?

This short novel, is brilliant for, all children. At the back of the book, there’s lots more fun, with a cross word puzzle, and a word search.
