The Family Fletcher Takes Rock Island

The Family FletcherTakes Rock Island by Dana Alison Levy, 259 pages

This is the sequel to “The Misadventures Of The Family Fletcher”.  Sam, Jax, Eli, Frig and their two dads have been coming to Rock Island every summer since they’ve been a family.  Nothing on the island ever changes, which is one of the reasons they like it.  But this year there are a few changes.  One very big change that the family hates is that the lighthouse is closed to the public.  Someone was hurt and now it’s closed pending inspection.  No one is sure what will happen but they can’t bear the thought of it being torn down.  One change that ends up being not so bad is some other kids that are staying nearby this year.  Valerie and Alex seem a little strange at first but may end up being not so bad.  Then there’s a weird artist running around the island.  He might not be too awful but he seems to be up to something.  And there’s an ice cream truck on the island!  At least that’s one change that’s good.  This was a great sequel.  I recommend these books to any school age kid who likes realistic fiction.
