Parents Kidnapped, Kids Save the Day

The kidds are riding away from the kidnappers and they have the treasure.

In the book Treasure Hunters Secret of the Forbidden City, the bad guy in the book (A German criminal) has kidnapped the Kidd families’ mom, and their dad might be dead. The Kidd family are treasure hunters and the mom and dad are CIA agents. The kidnappers are trying to get the treasure map to find the treasure, which is valuable artwork, and that is why they kidnap the mom. They hold the mom for ransom, the treasure. The Kidd’s dad said the Kidd kids need to find his treasure map to save their mom. The kids, 2 girls and 2 boys, spend the whole book trying to find the map and that is basically what the book is about. They will get their mom back if they find the map.

An important part in this book is at the end when the Kidd kids defeat the kidnappers and are reunited with their mom and dad on their boat in Germany. The kids have a different plan. Instead of finding the map for the kidnappers, they use their dad’s clues to find the actual treasure so the kidnappers can’t have it, which is what they really want. The kidnappers chase them to a river in Germany where they the kids see their parents boat. Then the kids see the kidnappers heading towards their parents. It is a suspenseful scene where the kids go into the water and push one of the kidnappers off the edge of a waterfall. The reader doesn’t know if they bad guys will win and take their parents again or if the kids will get their parents back. It is important because the book is about them finding their parents and finally they found their parents.
