The Math Kids dads are taking the quartet to London, where they will be presenting on their protype invention to a group of investors. As they arrive, they hear about increased security around the city because of terrorist chatter. While the dads are busy, the kids will be escorted around tot eh sites by Bobby, who works for Scotland Yard. After their plans are interrupted a couple of times with terrorist threats, the kids decide that they will figure out who is causing the danger and what the terrorists’ aims are themselves - even if it means sneaking out the hotel.
I kind of like the Math Kids - reminds of Wayside School a bit with the math and logic problems the dads give them. I wisht eh cover art was more polished and eye-catching. I don’t think kids will pick this up on their own in large quantities. I haven’t read any of the others, so I can’t speak to whether they are as interesting as this one. No - I won’t tell you the solution to the mystery!
