[William Walker]

A fun read. Young Indiana Jones is taking a holiday break. While at it, he finds treasure, encounters early 20th century union-management struggles and strife in a realistic way, and rides with Morgan Le Fay to safety.

Quite a story, you'll enjoy it.

Nice story, lots of slow bits. Not too bad if you're after a light fiction read, but ultimately, there are better books out there.

Thumbs up, but not the best of the series

I read this book aloud to my two sons, age 8 and 12. We liked it, but the first three chapters had too much background information on mining and history. We liked "Young Indiana Jones and the Circle of Death" much better. Young Indiana Jones and the Circle of Death (Young Indiana Jones, Volume 3)

Here's the blurb from the back of Ghostly Riders: "A holiday in Wales... in the shadow of terror!"

"The Wales that Indy visits is coal country. But long ago King Arthur and his warriors roamed there. So it's a great place to explore. And sure enough, Indy finds an ancient treasure!"

"But he finds danger as well... a ruthless plot to put a coal mine out of business! When Indy discovers who's behind it, HE could be put out of business too."

"Before Indy knows it, he's running for his life... and straight into more trouble -- a band of ghostly riders!"

This is a lightning quick read of high adventure with a bit of the Camelot mythos thrown in for good measure. A fitting story for young teen boys or those readers who still communicate with their inner child.

Read and enjoy.

A bit short for my taste.

Probably a little old for my younger one, even though he's into chapter books. Not as good as the movies. We might try when he's a little older. He's 6 now.
