Review:
Christina (ten), Grant (seven), and their grandparents Mimi (author Carole Marsh) and Papa (her husband) embark on two more international mystery-solving adventures. Their exploits are tepid, and despite good intentions, the author resorts to mimicry and cultural stereotyping to invoke suspense (all Asians look alike so which is the villain?) and humor (all Australians are like Crocodile Dundee--"Crikey!").

During a glass-bottom boat ride, they discover more than coral and fish under the water scuba divers and flesh-tearing moray eel lurk beneath their boat! They shudder at the eerie screech of the Tasmanian devil and brave the awesome Australian Outback (and Aborigines!) at night. Watch and wonder as Grant ends up in the Camel Cup camel race will he make it to the finish line? Don't miss a moment of excitement in Christina and Grant's Australian adventure!
