The Secret of Bold Rock
Kare Kids Adventure #1
By: Charles Salter
Ten-year-old Kelcie’s fisherman father disappeared at sea years ago. Since then, Kelcie has befriended Bald Rock Island’s beloved Mr. Bartleby, a kindly man devoted to the village and its children. Kelcie decides to help Mr. Bartleby solve the island’s two enduring mysteries—what happened to her father, and what the sea creature Mr. Bartleby saw that night might be.
Kelcie crosses the island in search of clues and thinks she knows where she can find the ultimate answers. She resolves to explore the forbidden area of the island, and as she puts the final pieces of the puzzle together, a new storm arises. Can she solve the mysteries and return to safety before the new storm claims her as the previous one did her father?

** This review is written by my 12yr old son Kenneth. He was very excited to read a book for the blog**
I really enjoyed this book, I wish it was longer. I read it all in a hour, and I was sad when it ended. My favorite person in the books was Mr. Bartleby. I like how it was an adventure and had a lot of action in it. It doesn't have a cliffhanger, but you know it sets up for the next books. I do hope I can read the others because this has become one of my favorite books.

awesome review Kenneth
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting me this week and showcasing my new book THE SECRET OF BALD ROCK ISLAND. I was very impressed and happy with your son Kenneth's review! He is insightful and independent like one of the kids in my series THE KARE KIDS ADVENTURES. It is clear that he is a writer himself!
ReplyDeleteI love it when young readers enjoy a story so much that they want to share their opinions. That's a wonderful beginning for both reader and reviewer, as he grows older... and will serve him well in high school and college.
ReplyDeleteI've read books 3 & 4 in manuscript and -- when they become available in a few months -- I feel certain your son will enjoy them just as much (or even better).
