A seamlessly written, action-packed story that’s also a sensitive, introspective character study. Fans who’ve been waiting for more of adorable couple Nico and Will won’t be disappointed.
This novel, which perfectly captures the joy of summer, the heartbreak of sudden loss, and the resilience of friendship, is recommended for general purchase, and is ideal for fans of Morgan Matson or Ashley Woodfolk.
A well-written debut that tackles issues of friendship, first love, gentrification, racism, and eviction through a compelling, fast-paced narrative full of suspense, tension, and questions of fairness. Recommended for teens alongside discussions of contemporary issues.
Accessible language, short chapters with cliff-hangers, a fun twist, and lots of white space make this a great choice for children ready to venture into chapter books.
Masterful illustrations are let down by disjointed text. Still, it’s a fun, quick read. Purchase where the series is popular and readers are hungry for action-packed reads.
A recommended addition to collections, and a great read for fans of Roshani Chokshi, Evelyn Skye, and Sandhya Menon’s Three Kisses, One Midnight or Jessica Spotswood’s The Last Summer of the Garrett Girls.
