Reviews

[Jenny · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was hooked immediately by the conflict of the kids in the story. While I have never actually sailed to the Bahamas on a boat, I felt like I did while reading this book! It was enjoyable, believable, and easy to read. I would have a better chance at surviving a boat wreck after reading this- I also learned that I should research information before I embark on new adventures.
