The sequel to New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe's The Islanders, an ldquo, exciting, tender, and absolutely wonderful rdquo, Kirkus Reviews, starred review story of friendship, loss, and the healing power of nature. Jake Potter is back on Dewees Island for another summer with his beloved grandmother, Honey. This time, Jake is excited that his dad will be there as he continues to recover from his injuries sustained in Afghanistan. But Jake also knows they both need get used to a new normal, which isn't easy. Jake also discovers that his two best friends, Macon and Lovie, are struggling as well. Macon is adjusting to being a big brother, while Lovie is navigating a new relationship with her dad, who has long been absent in her life. To cheer everyone up, Jake decides that the trio needs a new mission, just like they had the previous summer in saving the turtles. He discovers that his dad loved spending time in an old tree fort on the island, and there is a special treasure box hidden somewhere nearby. Jake just knows if he can find it, maybe his dad will be happy again-and he knows Macon and Lovie are the perfect fellow treasure hunters.

Great Read

One of my favorite authors! Loved this second book as well as her first for middle schoolers. My grandson in 5th grade really enjoyed both books.

Great read for any age!

A book for all ages, not just middle school! Adults will love it too. It is a continuation of the book, 'The Islanders" but is easily read as a standalone. The setting is a small island that actually exists off the coast of South Carolina. The authors have researched and studied the island and its wildlife extensively. It remains relatively primitive, except for a small community who also have great respect for the wildlife there. No autos allowed and it is not open to the public. Most will never visit the island personally, but it can be fully imagined with their wonderful descriptions of the area. and the wildlife there. Much is done to preserve that wildlife and the authors seek to educate through the story the importance of preserving our coastal areas and creatures that inhabit it. Turtles, alligators, 'lightening bugs' birds, and many others are addressed. If you look deeply into the book, there are several life lessons addressed with the children and the adults participating in the 'Search for Treasure'. Not only are the adventuresome pre-teens learning the respect of the wildlife, they learn respect and acceptance of each other, overcoming obstacles that seem impossible, teamwork and the adults have a few obstacles and lessons to learn as well. I"m sure I've missed something but it is a great work of literature for all ages to ponder. At face value, it is a wonderful story of some adventuresome children during a summer break. Like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you can get out of the book what you put into the reading of it. It would be a great study book for a Christian school literature class as well as a fun read. I was provided a pre published copy of this book but was under no obligation to provide a review. Many thanks to the publisher, author and all others for allowing me to read this book.
