Synopsis

Disappearing act?

Everyone in Bayport can’t wait for the biggest event of the season: the premiere of G-Force — the newest ride by the world-renowned Piperato Brothers. Their creation is going to change the fortunes of Funsport, Bayport’s small and recently run-down amusement park. Frank and Joe are friends with Daisy Rodriguez, the owner’s daughter, and are first in line for the ride’s launch. Purple lights click off, a huge whoosh emanates from the floor, loud music pulses . . . .

G-Force is awesome and exhilarating from start to finish. But while everyone is screaming their heads off, a young girl disappears into thin air — right in the middle of the ride! The fun has stopped, and now Frank and Joe have to solve this terrifying vanishing act.

After the clunky Mystery of the Phantom Heist I was pleasantly surprised by The Vanishing Game. This reminds me a lot more of what I used to enjoy about The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew as a kid.

Goodreads review by Amy on October 29, 2024

If the last chapter had been handled differently, this would have been a one star read. But, because this is the first of a continuing mystery (seems like it will be a duology) I will be a little less harsh. This is entirely because we don't really get a mystery resolution and, more than that, we do......more
