A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Rock Harbor Search and Rescue: Lost and Found - Colleen Coble

After reading the first book in this series, Rock Harbor Search and Rescue, and knowing that my daughter enjoyed it, it was a no-brainer to pick this one up.

We pick up where we left off with Emily, but it’s not to the point you feel like you’re missing something if you haven’t read the first book.  I think that’s important, especially with series written for the younger crowd.  Emily is faced with a whole new set of problems and tries to solve them all on her own again.

Her best friend, Olivia, discovers that she has been adopted and the girls go about trying to find out why Olivia’s parents have never told her.  They can’t ask, because that would ruin a surprise anniversary party, so they enlist the help of a local reporter who has been helpful in the past.

Not only do the girls try to figure out Olivia’s past, Emily’s mother is back in town and wanting to get back in touch with her daughter.  Emily’s not sure she can trust her, but knows that no matter what her mother is planning, God wants her to forgive.  There’s also been a fire at the school and the evidence isn’t quite what it seems.  When her stepmother, Naomi, goes missing, Emily isn’t sure things can get much worse.

I have no issues recommending this series.  It was a nice enjoyable read for me and it definitely doesn’t disappoint.  The action goes right up until the end and I think will keep the kids motivated to read it through.  The only caution I have is that I believe this series would be more appropriate for ages 10 and up.  Amazon has it listed as age 8, but due to content, length and writing style, I think it would be more enjoyable for 10 and up.  Hope to see more in the future!  Good Book!
