I picked this book up because I have liked some of Bodeen’s
other books for young adults. I wasn’t
as crazy about this one, mainly because it ends with almost no resolution at
all. The story starts out as a typical
one, with a girl whose father is getting remarried to a woman who has two
sons. The older boy, Marco, and the
girl, Sarah, hate this idea. The younger
boy, Nacho, is pretty much okay with everything. The parents decide to take a cruise with the
kids instead of going on a honeymoon alone.
The boat, the captain, and pretty much everything, turn out differently
than expected, but everything still might have been okay if not for the storm
that caused them to crash on an island that is apparently not all it
seems. This has the beginnings of what
might be a science fiction type story but at the moment is pretty much a
mystery and realistic fiction. The
writing and story are good, but I’m a little ticked that I’m going to have to
wait to get the rest of the story.
