Zero is the Key

I won a print copy of Zero is the Key by Robert J Guerrera in a Goodreads giveaway.

Zero is the Key is a fun middle grade adventure that made me a little bit nostalgic for the books I read as a middle grader. There was a series called The Happy Hollisters that Zero is the Key strongly brings to mind. The kids are smart, but so are the parents. Everyone is respectful and the adventure is just a lot of fun. Perhaps a bit unrealistic when the family travels all over the world at the drop of a clue. But that is a part of the charm for me, not letting real life logic dictate the flow of the story.  

The action is quite good and the suspense is maintained throughout. Age appropriate violence and danger. A travelogue to some of the more mysterious locations on the planet. Giorgio Tsoukalos would probably love it. Zero is the Key also crosses over to the ancient alien theory and fits in quite well.

A fun thing to notice that isn't a spoiler. Most of the main characters have the family names of famous scientists. The main characters are the Salk's, you can pick out the rest. Zero is the Key by Robert J Guerrera is a fun middle grade adventure even if no longer a middle grade reader. Enjoy!
