The Trespasser's Unexpected Adventure (Crime Stoppers Series)

Fire, Thieves, Gold and Guns, Friends and Family

Trespassing Logan gets caught out abseiling alone down a cliff by a girl who calls herself Captain Happy. She refuses to tell Logan her real name, and her fun-loving parents go along with the game. Baffled, Logan joins the mystery family for a day full of adventure. Not only are they mysterious, they are wealthy beyond anything he knows, as a race in their Ferrari proves.

As night time approaches, they are joined by Logan’s foster family, including his two foster brothers, Cole and Nate, and foster sister, Poet. As the families enjoy stories around a campfire, little do they know they are being watched by two shipwreck pirates who want to land on their beach and smuggle in some shipwrecked gold into the very house Captain Happy is staying in.  The criminals are going to have to deal with Captain Happy, Logan and their families. It’s up to their ringleader to come up with a plan.

Unwittingly, the Crime Stopper kids walk straight into his trap and Cole is captured. Determined to get him back, the kids sneak through a tunnel that collapses on them. All looks lost when they are discovered and caught themselves by the ruthless pirates—even Nate's ninja-like martial art skills can't help. How will they escape and capture the pirates now?

Readers Say: 

“What a feel good, great read! It has a bit of everything; family, friendship, action, suspense, laugh-out-loud wit, fight scenes, racing cars and more. ” Reader of The Trespasser’s Unexpected Adventure

 “This is a great story. The best part are the fresh likeable characters - led by the one-of-a-kind quirky 11 year old girl Meeka and her friend, brave, troubled 13 year old Logan. The conversations between Meeka, Logan and their friends make you feel like you're standing in the room with them. The plot is exciting and fast paced with modern smugglers. I like that some of the teenagers follow martial arts and can stand up for themselves with the villains.” Reader of The Trespasser’s Unexpected Adventure
