Equal parts funny, clever, and terrifying, "We Dine with Cannibals" is probably the only book I'd ever consider getting for a pre-teen that has the word "Cannibal" in the title. (That includes any Fine Young Cannibals album, by the way.)
The books in the Accidental Adventures series--this is the second--tell the story of identical twins, who, as the title intimates, would much rather be watching adventure shows on TV than going on adventures themselves. But that wouldn't be nearly as much fun, an...more

In this sequel to We Are Not Eaten by Yaks, twins Celia and Oliver Navel are back, reluctantly being sent on adventures. This time, they are in search of their mother, who has run off to find the Lost Library of Alexandria, and are frequently forced to accompany Sir Edmund on dangerous trips because their adventurer father lost a bet to him. They start by almost being killed in Incan ruins my booby trapped khipus, and then, when their father is kidnapped, continue on in the company of daredevil...more

Nothing like non-stop adventure, danger, and hopeful attitudes. Celia and Oliver have to spend vacation time with the dastardly Sir Edmund S. Titheltorpe-Schmidt III because their dad, a famous explorer, lost a bet. Sir Edmund would like to kill the twins, but it has to be an accident. In the meantime, he'd like them to find the lost library of Alexandria. Luckily the kids have been trained from infancy to survive even as they're adventuring in Peru, the Amazon jungle, and New York. All this is...more
First off, my review is biased. My family happened to be in NYC for the book launch party at the Rubin Museum for London's first Accidental Adventure. Mr. London was so charming to my kids and thrilled for them to be there ("I'm so thrilled to have someone who is not my friend or relative here.") and the event was such great fun, that I think I am predisposed to liking all his books.
That said, I liked this book even more than the first. The first took place in Tibet, which I know little about. I...more

I enjoyed the first book in this series quite a bit, but I was even more impressed with the sequel. I appreciate the sense that this is a true, planned-out series, and the hints of growth in both of the Navel children (especially in Celia) are rewarding. The only downside to having read both in such a short period is that I have to wait for the third installment!
this book is WAY better then you think it is! In the beginning I thought it wasn't very exciting and I felt like I didn't want to read it.And then later I tried reading it some more.Then I really liked it. It turned out to be a really good book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you like it too!!

What a fun adventure-filled book! I loved all of the crazy action, the reluctant adventurers we find in Oliver and Celia and the mentions of historical locations. I could see many of my reluctant readers devouring this book, especially because the chapters are short and exciting. Very fun read.
This one I could not put down. The adventures continue for the Navel twins. Just when you think that they will have a normal life with their family you are reminded that adventures are always adventures. Till next time.
A truly fun book following the further adventures of Celia and Oliver Naveg who hate anything having to do with adventures. The closest they want to get to adventure is the television. Two more books are slated for this series and I am looking forward to the books.
This is becoming my new favorite series! It is funny, well written, and full of adventure. I even think I liked this book better than the first and will look forward to the next one in the series!

Really, really funny, and even better than the first one. I am excited for the third episode, although I imagine I will be waiting a while as this is a fairly new book. I think elementary and middle school age readers will get a kick out of this book, and it would also make a fun family read. This is ridiculous adventure at its very best!
So far I love it because this book is so action packed. I'll tell you more later.
Fun children's lit. Not too serious, entertaining, fun.
Fun Fun Fun! I want to read more! Highly enjoyable, even if TV is involved.
great childrens book
My son and I have been reading this series at night before he goes to bed. (The third book comes out in just a few days!) Although the Navel twins would rather sit in front of their television, my son thinks (most) of their adventures sound like fun. We can't wait to read more about the Navels in the next two books.
The laughs and improbable escapades keep on coming in book 2.
I loved it, and can't wait for the next one.
It was amazingly funny
