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!
