Although they are used to the sea and everything it
can throw at them the Kidd children are not prepared for what happens when
their parents who have home schooled them to do without iPads, iPhones, iPods
and any sort of pizza, vanish – apparently overboard. This is the beginning of
a series, which, if this first book is a sample, promises to be full of action,
adventure, cryptic clues and a great deal of humour. James Patterson is the
creator of The Middle School series. The plentiful illustrations absolutely match the whole tone of the
story. A great holiday read
– and a good read-aloud when the children go back to school.
Year 5 up/ Age 9 up
