I got this from Goodreads First Reads. Even I didn't like the cover, I liked the book! It's a mystery that's interesting with action. The Wiley family isn't your typical family. The three brothers are adopted, but they really act like family. A star basketball player starts to get unexplained stomach pains- could someone be poisoning him? The Wiley brothers are there to help figure out what's going on and to help a girl Chris find the facts behind her father suddenly disappearing. It was a fun read. This book isn't just for kids, other age groups can get something out of it too.

I enjoyed the story itself. Unfortunately, there were extremely numerous punctuation errors. Not good when this book is targeted for elementary/middle school age kids who are learning how to use punctuation correctly.

This is a really nice YA read, full of excitement, would recommend it to 9 to 12 year old boys or girls......
