REVIEW: RIDLEY BLUEFOX AND THE FLYING FISH OF FORTUNE FALLS by Carrie Percy

Ridley Bluefox and the Flying Fish of Fortune Falls
by Carrie Percy


Know a young fan of Indiana Jones? Kids who loved the professor cum treasure hunter of Spielberg fame will lap up this tale of a young explorer travelling to exotic lands in search of wonders.

Laura Dick captures the adventures in store for young hero Ridley Bluefox in her review, available in The Cambridge Times and on the Cambridge Libraries Blog. Here's a blurb:
"Ridley Bluefox is a world famous fisherman and adventure lover. He has been featured on the cover of 14 magazines, traveled all over the world in pursuit of exotic and difficult to catch fish, won many great fishing trophies and is generally up for any kind of adventure – especially those that involve a fishing pole and bait…all this by the tender age of 12. Ridley is overwhelmed with excitement when he hears about the flying fish of Fortune Falls – fish that no one has every caught before."
Ridley travels head-on into danger, armed only with mysterious bait and an ancient map - he faces wild boars, thrashing eels, and dinner-plate sized spiders - but the ultimate challenge is waiting for him at Fortune Falls...definitely an exciting treat for any young reader looking for an adventure!
