Plot
When Thomas finds a treasure map, he creates The Big Adventure Club to seek the treasure and Sandy wants to join, but Thomas says she's too little, so Sandy forms her own club.

MY VIEWS

Honestly, this was actually a good episode for a show like AEG! Sandy was a very engagable character with her wanting to prove that despite being small she can be brave and clever. I was thinking through that it would be great if Thomas was a bit for sympathetic towards Sandy's since he can be put down for his size but I don't think it would work with Sandy's character development in this episode. Plus this is mighty better than 'Dragon Run' as I feel there was more story here and less messing around from the characters. For the first time on this blog an AEG episode is getting a higher rating. I really don't have any qualms with the episode, although this might be a nitpick but Diesel being annoyed at the bridge falling down in the caves is kind of stupid considering that the engines have the power to jump across but despite that. This was a good episode.
