Thank you Simon Audio for the gifted audiobook.
The second installment in this series was just as delightful as the first! I loved going back to Dewees Island and getting to be with the Islanders again. I adore a treasure hunt book and this one was so fun as the kids learned about each other as they searched for clues. One thing I love about these books is that the kids do have pretty responsible adult oversight that doesn't hinder the plot, but adds to it. That is so rare in middle grade novels to have good adults, but good adults who are great characters themselves are an extra bonus. They are dealing with their own personal growth and they get to do it admirably along with the kids.
