Andy Washburn has a very athletic family who love to spend every summer fishing and camping. Andy is sick of it all and decides he is going to bring his laptop computer to relieve what he experiences as the same old routine summer activities. His cousin, C. J., however, entices him with the idea that they can act like they are going fishing and then take off to explore for some different adventure. Little do they realize how a laptop and plan to relieve boredom will bring them into the middle of a potentially dangerous activity.

As they enter Canada, they observe the Canadian police examining a cage in another inspection station. The officer explains to them that there is a highly illegal poaching trade happening, which consists of thieves who steal animals and animal parts in order to make some big money.

Although it's pretty predictable which way this story is going, it really doesn't spoil the story which Anderson tells with the usual exciting plot and intrigue all the way to the end. Andy and his cousin get so caught up in their discovery that they forget how crime begins, in breaking rules that are meant to protect those humans and animals around them. Finding they are as guilty as the caught criminals, Andy and C. J. don't just realize how important their own acts are but in a very mature manner realize that their faith is designed as a perfect plan to insure fairness and justice, one that requires examining one's self before accusing others of criminal behavior.

Anderson manages to convey faith, mystery, and lessons without making the reader nauseous about it. He's a talented author whom this reader knows will continue to entertain young readers and perhaps make a difference in their future.

Hurrah!
