Another great review for #shipwreckers ! Thank you to librarian Natasha C. who uses such phrases as "page turner" "terrible puns" and "great, fun escape read!"
"This book for ages 8-12 was a lot of fun to read. Captain Kevin Adventureson, the main shipwrecker in the title, is a likable character despite his terrible puns and the fact that he only looks out for number one, himself. Mike and Dani Gonzalez are on a vacation to Brazil with their parents when they go on a boat tour up the Amazon with none other than Captain Kevin. Mike is cautious, loves books and always carries them in his trusty messenger bag. Dani, his little sister is up for anything and wants to have adventures like her heroine from Mike’s books, Bermuda Betty. When Captain Kevin abandons his tour group and sets off in his boat the Roger Oberholtzer, he has no idea Mike and Dani are on the boat. Thus begins a lot of crazy adventures involving jewels, villains, ancient temples in the jungle, the Bermuda Triangle, and mummies. This story wasn’t a deep one, although all of the characters, even the self-involved Captain Kevin, showed growth but it was a page turner and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the amoral Captain, cautious older brother Mike, and crazy and brave little sister Dani. The ending sets the reader up for another adventure so I think we’ll see more of these three in future installments. A great, fun escape read!"
