*Another middle-grade novel that came to me via the publisher, Shadow Mountain.
What It Is About - FIVE Things You Need to Know:
*Alexis is twelve years old and lives in Hawaii.
*Alexis and her father are left at home while her mother travels the world because of her job.
*To keep a connection between mother and daughter, Alexis' mom leaves behind "mysteries" for Alexis to solve.
*With the latest "code", Alexis finds herself racing against time to solve it before anything bad happens to the people in her life; including her own mother.
*She relies on her own strength, along with her friends, to venture out into the world and endure challenges she never thought she would have to face.
What I Thought Of It - Five Observations/Reflections:
*The middle-grade story was full of adventure, mystery, and codes.
*As a reader, it was fun to follow along on Alexis' journey and adventure.
*To be honest, I did skim and scan during sections of the story when the plot slowed down.
*I love Hawaii and it was interesting to read and learn about new aspects of the island state.
*There were no great surprises or shocks, but overall a strong story for young readers.
Who Should Read It:
Who Should Read It:
*I think this particular story would appeal to mostly to the fifth and sixth grade reader, along with students in middle-school. Any young reader who has an interest in Hawaii, would also enjoy the book. Happy Reading!
