[edit] Plot
The plot of the book is that you, your parents and your annoying older brother, Pete, go to Lonestar National Park. While camping in the desert you find a shop and can buy one of two valuable items: a pair of magic snake eyes that will allow you to transform into different animals or a map to an old (and deadly) gold mine. To make it simple, a map of the "Lost Gold Mine" and some "snake eyes". You have to decide if you want the eyes or the map.
And if you buy the map, the gold mine features a fun little riddle that actually requires a few moments of thought to solve. "Beware the panther though!" the Watchers made of eyeballs would say, if you came across them and they gave you a key. The alternative way in is up a windy path on pages 49, 64, and 98. Choose the panels wisely on 98. A key is in one of them.
If you buy the eyes, the animal transformation part of the novel offers a lot of entertaining possibilities, like a bear, a fish or a falcon.
