National Treasure 2 -
Book of Secrets

National Treasure 2 - Book of Secrets
Walt Disney Video

Phenomenal!

If you enjoyed "Natural Treasure" you will enjoy "National Treasure: Book of Secrets." A realistic plot with lots of twist and turns. A good story with points on acting honorably, what it means to be an American, and a great blending of American history (the Lincoln assassination plot, the American Civil War, the Oval Office, Presidents, the Statue of Liberty, and Queen Victoria).

An amazing treasure hunt, cleaver clues, with lots of action. It's fun trying to figure out the puzzle.

PG for some action violence, an appropriate film for families to view. Although be aware it starts with Lincoln and another man being shot.
