Read the nine adventures in publication order, beginning with Treasure Hunters and ending with The Greatest Treasure Hunt. Each expedition has its own destination and treasure, but the Kidd family's disappearances, reunions, and rivals form a continuing story.
For parents
What Parents Should Know
These fast-paced, heavily illustrated adventures include missing and kidnapped parents, pirates, weapons, explosions, shipwrecks, dangerous animals, secret agents, criminals, and children repeatedly escaping life-threatening situations. The tone stays humorous and victories are reassuring, but the peril is more intense than the cartoon artwork may suggest.
The stories mix fictional adventures with references to real places, cultures, artworks, and historical treasures; families may want to follow up on which details are factual.
