The Case of the Wild River Ride
The Case of the Mile High Race
The fourth and fifth titles in the 'Jody and Jake' Mystery series continue the ingredients of the previous books. The bionic duo are engaged in one 'exciting' episode after another, or even two episodes simultaneously. These breathtaking episodes either 'explode into nightmares' or involve the intrepid couple risking their lives, usually while engaging in the type of dialogue that the Bobbsey twins made famous. However, Elizabeth Levy lets us know that it's really all tongue-in-cheek, with her coded chapter headings; 'The toe and the jacuzzi' can't be for real, while 'Jake does something stupid' should be the sub-title for the series.
