Island Blitz

In this action-packed, blitz-a-rama, book taken place on Crab Island, of the Caribbean, you'll feel as if you're actually on the Caribbean, watching every little bit of this happen! It's so exotic that it moves you! While Sally, Peter, and Andy Grant stay on Crab Island alone, due to their father going off to a medical conference, many mysterious, emotional, and stressful things occur while their father is away. This includes caring for a dolphin that has deep gashes due to a motorboat, Jan and Jon arguing with the Grants about the fact that they got there first, and finally, they witness a jaw-dropping boat tragedy, due to inexperienced sailing. What they eventually uncover about Gloria and Benito, who had the boat crash, becomes a horrific nightmare, no one ever wishes to live, [most wouldn't have lived through]! I loved this book! I enjoyed it for many reasons. Dolphins are absolutely my favorite animal. I also liked the fact that it was on the Caribbean, so it made me imagine that I was actually there. Also every chapter ended with a problem, which really allured me to read on furthermore!

Edge of your seat book.

I liked this book because I like suspence and action. And it's a very good mystery. But it's kind of fake though. Sally, Andy, and Peter are left on the beach while their dad went on a business trip. But he told a hotel manager to keep an eye on them. When they were adjusting to the campsite, a boat runs over a dolphin and that dolphin has a baby. But the mom swims away. So they feed it bottles of ginger beer. Then two people that had a crash on the beach lost a missing fender. The kids say they know nothing, but they have the missing fender. Then the two people come on the beach with a gun and take Andy and Peter. Sally has to get them back. I'm not going to tell you anymore unless you read the book yourself.
