Reviews

[Iker · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was about a girl that had a neighbour that died. When he died he told the girl that he had a present for her. Then, she went to find her dead neighbour´s nephews. When she found them she had a big surprise. Max (the dead neighbour) gave the boat to them. She gave them a hug and entered the boat for the night. There was a crack. People robbed something. The girl and the nephews rushed there and found the key. The next day, they were eating until the girls mum appeared.They talked.
With the key they found a box and opened it. There was a safe code. they found the safe and opened it with the code the wrong way round.They saw something with the girls favorite colour.she broke it and saw a boat for her own.
