Review: Troubles Always Come in Threes

The plot of this book is that Rick and Kenny Van Huler's father says that troubles always come in threes, and that's just how it started. First, Pa, a long-distance truck driver, reported that his load of TVs had been stolen. Then, Pa and Ma had a fight and Pa left, and they thought nothing worse could come but it did. The third thing that happened was that Ma disappeared. She had been outside, talking to a man in a car, when she sent the boys to the store. When they got home, she was gone, and hours later she still had not come home. Finally, Rick, Kenny, and their friends, Connie and Julie, went looking for their mom.
I liked this book for many different reasons. I liked this book because it was very interesting, and it always left me wanting to read more. Like the time when ma was outside talking to a man, and the next thing Rick and Kenny knew she was gone. She had disappeared, and they waited for hours and hours but she didn't come home. This book was very interesting and also funny. I also like the fact that they kept hearing and seeing things in the dark, abandoned, amusement park. IF I were to rate this book on a scale of 1-5, then I would give it a 4 because although it was interesting most of the time and almost always left me wanting to read more, sometimes it wasn't that interesting and sometimes it was boring. But overall I thought that it was a very good and interesting book and I think that other people will enjoy it too.
I have not read any other books by this author, but considering how well I enjoyed reading this book, I will look into other books by this author. I will also look into other mystery books similar to this one because by reading this book I have realized how fun it is to read and try to guess why something happened.
