Samantha Saves The Day Review

This book is about Samantha going to Piney Point with her aunt,uncle,cousins,and Grandmary,and the admiral. On a rainy day Samantha and her cousins go up in the attic and discover her mother's sketch book. In it there's a map to Teardrop Island. One day Samantha and her cousins go to Teardrop Island. On their way there's a narrow passageway and there are rocks under the water they couldn't see. Once they got to the island, they went to go find the pretty waterfall and her mother's sketch book. They also had a picnic there. Then it starts to rain and they try to go find their canoe but they couldn't. They become stranded and the admiral sets out to find them but he hits his head and Samantha has to save the day.

vvery exciting

When Samantha and her friends go to Piney Point,they decide to go to the place where Samantha's mother and father died. At first they think it is a beautiful place. But when they can't find the boat they used to get there,Saantha's Uncle Gard comes to rescue them and he gets hurt. If Samantha dosen't do some quick thinking, they could be stuck on the island. This book is great and I definitely recommend it because it is exciting and fun to read.

An awesome book!!!

I think this is the best of the Samantha books. Samantha is spending the summer at the lake with her grandmother and her cousins. She is searching for information on her parents and her search leads her to Chocolate Drop Island where her parents drowned in a boating accident. At first Samantha is amazed by the beauty of the place, but while trying to return from the island during a storm she understands what her parents must have endured. Just a great book overall.

It feels like you are in the book with them.

It feels like you are in the book with them and it is exciting, brave, and sad. It is about a young girl that travels to tear drop island where her parents died trying to get there. Her two twin cousins go with her to explore the island and when they try to get back they get caught in the storm
