An Accidental Adventure #1: We Are Not Eaten By Yaks

By: C. Alexander London

An Accidental Adventure #1 was an amazing read that kept me on the edge of my seat with its suspense, action, danger, and plot twists. The story is about the young twins Oliver and Celia Navel, who live with their mother and father at the Explorer’s Club. Oliver and Celia spend their days watching shows such as Agent Zero or Love At 30,000 Feet (These shows are mentioned heavily in the book), until one day, three years after the day their mom never returned from an exploration, when a mountain climber named Choden Thordup finds some notes that were written by Oliver and Celia’s mother.  According to the notes, she was close to finding the path to the Lost Tablets of Alexandria, which are supposedly located in the mythical city of Shangri-La.  Sir Edward S. Titheltorpe III, who doesn't believe in Shangri-La, bets the twin’s dad, Professor Ogden Navel, that he can’t find the Lost Tablets of Alexandria.  If Professor Navel loses, he must leave the Explorer’s Club in shame, and his children must become Sir Edward’s servants during every school break until they turn 18. But, if Sir Edward loses, he must install cable television into the Navel’s apartment.  Oliver and Celia are angry to be dragged along on this trip, but they’ll have other things to worry about…. WHEN THEY ARE THROWN OFF THE PLANE!!! To find out what happens to the Navels, go find a copy of An Accidental Adventure #1: We Are Not Eaten By Yaks at a library or bookstore near you.
