Creative and Artistic Excellence

Not only does Ami take you on a suspenseful adventure, she ties in some important environmental issues for kids to think about. Her illustrations are fantastic and educational at the very least. The map of Aruba and the Divi Divi tree teaches children about other parts of the world. I can't wait until book 3!!!

Excellent adventure that keeps us yearning for more!

Ami Blackford does a terrific job cultivating a suspenseful and exciting adventure--and what terrific artwork! As good if not better than Book 1, Book 2 really delves deeper into the Duncan siblings' relationship and how they truly compliment each other with each new challenge they face. And don't we all love Simone! Feisty and fun-natured, she is the kind of friend we all wish we had. Also to note is how Blackford ties environmental messages into the book, which is wonderfully educational for children and adults alike. I'm ready for Book 3. Great job on Book 2, Ami!
