Secret of the Forbidden City: An Illustrated Kids Adventure Novel — Treasure Hunters Book 3 (PDF)

The Kidd kids are dangling upside down in a dungeon — and that's just the beginning.

Book 3 of the Treasure Hunters series takes Bick, Beck, Tommy, and Storm on their most dangerous mission yet: cracking the Secret of the Forbidden City. With both parents now entangled in CIA spy business, the four siblings must race across the globe — from the open ocean to the ancient streets of Beijing — to rescue their family and uncover a priceless treasure hidden inside China's most legendary landmark.

Packed with the same laugh-out-loud humor, non-stop action, and hundreds of hand-drawn illustrations that made Books 1 and 2 instant hits, this adventure is even bigger, bolder, and funnier than before.

Why Kids Love This Book:

• Opens with Bick dangling upside down in a dungeon — surrounded by "assorted bad guys" and regretting his eighth sausage. Bick's twin sister Beck drew the whole thing. Naturally.
• A world map drawn by the Kidd kids themselves — annotated with hilarious personal notes about every location they've visited, from "Middle of Nowhere (where Dad was lost from the ship)" to "Beijing — so much to see and do!"
• Motorcycles. On the ocean. — The VROOM! full-page illustration of armed villains riding motorcycles across open water sets the tone perfectly for what's ahead
• CIA superspies for parents — The kids have always known their parents were treasure hunters. Now they're learning the full truth — and it changes everything
• Illustrated on nearly every page — Hundreds of black-and-white cartoon illustrations by Juliana Neufeld bring every scene to life
• Perfect for reluctant readers — Short chapters, big illustrations, and relentless humor make this impossible to put down
