The World's Greatest Adventure Machine

By: Frank L. Cole

Narrated by: Mike Golczynski

An adventure novel about four lucky kids, and a mysterious but thrilling ride for fans of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Jurassic Park.

CastleCorp and the famous Castleton brothers are unveiling the World’s Greatest Adventure Machine! The roller coaster is an experience like no other, and four lucky kids have won the chance to be the first to ride it.

There’s Trevor, whose latest stunt got him in trouble at school...again. There’s Devin, whose father is pushing him to be the next Internet sensation. Nika’s wealthy grandfather isn’t too pleased about her participation. And Cameron, he’ll be the first to tell you, is a certified genius.

The whole world is watching. But as the kids set off on their journey, they begin to realize that there is perhaps more to their fellow contest winners than meets the eye. And the Adventure Machine? It might just have a mind of its own.

Join the contestants on their wild ride if you dare. Your adventure starts now!

Great listen! A fantastic story.

This story is full of ups and downs (pun intended) that kept my kids riveted. Even my teens got into the book. I really liked the “life lessons” that the book taught without being too pushy (90 sitcoms style). It was great!! We’ll listen again on our next road trip.

The audio is great. I think it read a little slow but I just sped it up and it turned out fine.

big hit

quote from my 9 year old son "I just really like it. it's one of my favorite books!"

Great book!

I got this for my son but of course I read it too. We loved it. Such a fun story!!

What a wonderful adventure!

My family and I loved this. The characters are great, the adventure is fun, and the humor balances the suspense perfectly. There were a couple of choices that the narrator made that I didn't love, but they were personal preferences and the story was strong enough that it didn't matter. My children didn't have any problems with the narrator at all, and they asked if there was a second book as soon as we finished listening.

Awesome book!

Such a great book for young readers. It’s exciting and easy to get hooked. The plot is easy to understand but has a lot of twists and turns that keep you guessing. My 3rd grade students and I loved it!
