"These books are so much fun!" “I love this book!” A missing pilot, a lost treasure ship, and a mysterious desert to explore! Family friendly book 2 in the award-winning Wright Cousin Adventures series! "Spinning around, the Wright cousins saw a crack in the mountainside expand, revealing a dark, shadowy passage..." While their parents are working together on a top secret mission, the five Wright cousins—Robert, Lindy, Jonathan, Kimberly, and Tim—are on a “mission” of their own. They’re having the time of their lives 4-wheeling in an old jeep searching for the legendary, long lost Spanish galleon of the desert Southwest. And who wouldn’t? There’s so much to see! Palm trees, hidden treasure, UFO’s, vanishing stagecoaches, incredible hot sauce, missing stealth plane pilots. Wait! What?! Will the Wright cousins be able to locate the pilot in time to save him, or will they, too, disappear without a trace? "This is my NEW FAVORITE SERIES!" “My kids give it a quadruple thumbs up!” “Awesome read! Our children- ages 15,13 & 8 love hearing books by this author. These books are hard to put down and have been great for our family!” – Matt Williams "This is my NEW FAVORITE SERIES!" -- Anne R. " Outstanding Kid Series! I normally don't review books on here [Amazon] unless highly impressed! So many children's books today are such a poor excuse for literature - poor plots, undeveloped characters, even poor spelling and use of English. What a delight to find a highly qualified author, Greg Smith and to finally find a series that are uplifting, well written and adventurous!" (Amazon 5-star review by Buzzyflight, Nov. 10, 2020) " Kids favorite book-- I sent my niece and nephew several books for summer reading. This has been the favorite of both kids...Appropriate for all kids, just good fun...Highly recommend."-Consultx " My kids have read the whole series and asking for more!-- My kids are very much into action and adventure books. We have read the entire series together during family reading time. They have loved all of them and now cannot wait for the author to write more.

I loved these for my kids."-Clint G " Mystery and Fun-- Purchased for my grandson--I found it to be quite a thrilling read--perfect for an almost 11 year old. Full of fun and adventure."-H. W. Longfellow " Great new series (to us)-- Bought for a 7 year old bookworm granddaughter who loves adventure stories and read it in almost one session!"-Reviewer in Canada " Worthwhile books-- Wonderfully written story, my son has devoured all 12 of the books in the series."-Susan " Couldn't put the book down!-- I purchased this book for my eight year old granddaughter. She enjoyed it so much she asked me to purchase the next book in the series, Desert Jeepers!"-KJD The southwestern U.S. desert is an amazingly beautiful place. We took our five children often there to enjoy its solace, learn its mysteries, and play in the oasis streams. But do go in the wintertime. The summer can get dangerously hot!   Gregory O.
