Mix thoroughly and prepare to read Snake Food, an action-packed page-turner for middle grade readers.When siblings Olivia and Theo arrive at their Uncle Austin's home it's clear that things don't add up. Lena Zelinsky, the housekeeper, and Vladimir Trokov, their uncle's laboratory assistant, claim that their employer has left unexpectedly on a spur-of-the-moment sailing trip. Theo and Olivia are immediately suspicious. Following gut feelings and unfolding clues, the kids, with the neighbor boy, Will, outwit Lena and Vladimir. The pair of ruthless villains are gob smacked by the clever strategies these meddling kids come up with to save the ones they love.
