Score: 5.00 / 5 - Reviewer Top Pick From NIGHT OWL REVIEWS
I absolutely loved this book by Ms. Andersen! The storyline was intriguing and grabbed my attention immediately. I especially enjoyed the idea of the old book containing a map and a special unbroken code that Joe recently inherited from his late Great Uncle Jake. I found my heart pounding in my chest while Joe, his mom, Mr. Grant (Joe’s teacher) and Joe’s friend, Annie, were all inspecting the old and broken down mansion on Dog Head Island where Great Uncle Jake lived. The author planted plenty of twists and turns throughout the story to keep her readers engrossed and hanging onto her every word. Even though this story is labeled a Young Adult, I assure you that any reader of any age will walk away feeling that they’ve been on an exciting adventure alongside the characters. I highly recommend this book to readers of all ages who are looking for a fun reading adventure and I eagerly look forward to seeing what other stories this author already has available to read.
