Book Review: Steel Trapp-The Challenge
When I travel, I often listen to Books-On-Audio. And my recent visit to Florida was no different. I got a chance to listen to Steel Trapp: The Challenge, by Ridley Pearson. Pearson has written one of my favorite fiction books, The Kingdom Keepers, a great story about Walt Disney World. And as many of my friends know, I am a Disney fan. You should pick The Kingdom Keepers up as well.
Ridley Pearson writes kids books. It’s written for younger audiences and it’s refreshing for someone like me, who listens to, and reads, a lot of adult fiction like James Patterson and Stephen King. In Steel Trapp: Challenge, we are introduced to Steven “Steel” Trapp, a 14 year-old boy who has a photographic memory. Steel, his mom, and dog, Cairo are off to Washington, DC, for a science competition. There he becomes involved in a situation that suggests a terrorist plot, but is much more intricate.
This is a great thiller that is suitable for younger audiences, and is also richly enjoyable for adults!
