Knockdown #2
Beached
Toni and the young crew of the sailboat, Whistler, have just found a safe harbor. Or so they thought...
They may have survived a tsunami, but they’re racing ahead of an ice age as they continue the frantic search for their families.
The island they’ve anchored near is anything but safe. Dangerous men lurk nearby—along with snakes, stingrays, and sharks. An island girl threatens to destroy Toni and her boyfriend’s relationship, the youngest member of the crew gets lost in a narrow dark cave, and Zoë is more annoying than ever.
Will Toni and her crew survive the island and its treacherous waters?

December 29, 2018The thrilling saga continues in book two of the Knockdown series. Beached and safe at last at a campsite of survivors, the weary teens rest, thankful to be alive. Love has blossomed between Toni and Takumi and Dylan and Zoe, and hopefully, Toni’s and Dylan’s parents are camped nearby. Things are looking up. But hopeful signs quickly turn to not when campsite members attempt to steal their boat and belongings. 'Beached' is another exciting page-turner, and also well-researched. I'm eager to read book three.

Dylan and Toni and their friends have survived an enormous Tsunami, what happens next?
Before the group of friends sailed away their parents told them where they had to go. When they finally reach the island everybody is ecstatic. Only they didn't count on the resistance from the people who are already there. After the devastation of the Tsunami the climate has changed. People are fighting for their own survival and are not as friendly as they always have been. It really is everyone for themselves. The people on the island think that a group of teenagers can easily be overpowered, so they can take The Whistler (the sailboat), but to their surprise Toni and her friends stand their ground. Another journey has started...
I absolutely loved the first book in this series, Knockdown, from the very first lines. I was really excited to see if Beached would have the same hold on me. Brenda Beem has done such an amazing job writing this story. I believe every word she writes.
The fact that there's been a Tsunami and that there's the possibility of another one, made this story terrifying. Dylan and Toni and their group of friends are resourceful and they all have their own strengths. They are a very powerful group of teenagers who stand together as one. I felt proud when I read about the decisions they made together to survive.
When they reach an island that has a military basis, their cellphones begin to work again. The messages from loved ones are coming through. Who made it and who did not? Find out by reading this gripping, beautiful and overwhelming story. Beached will leave you stranded and begging for more.

I was so glad when this came out - I had read the first in the series, Knockdown and could wait to find out what happened! This book did not disappoint. With lots of twists and turns and action, this story kept my attention all the way through. Though it's written for a pre-teen, teen audience, I found it to be a delightful entertaining book and series for adults as well.
