52 Weeks Book Challenge
This week I decided to review a new book series for teens by Colleen Coble. You may recognize her name because I read her Rock Harbor Series earlier in the year. This teen series is called Rock Harbor Search and Rescue. It's heroine is eighth-grader Emily O'Reilly. She was a child in the original Rock Harbor series. Her step-mom is part of a search and rescue dog team which Emily has always longed to join. Emily started a jewelry making business to save up money to buy a puppy to start training. She decides to get a booth to sell her jewelry at a local fall festival. A renowned jewelry artist, who Emily admires greatly, asks her to watch her booth for her while she goes to the ladies room. When she returns she noticed her most expensive piece of jewelry missing and the blame falls on Emily. Emily is determined to prove her innocence but she isn't prepared for all the surprises she will find along the way. I would recommend this book for teens with a small caution to parent that it does involve a story line about a local Indian folk-lore belief. I was impressed how the author had the Christian teen stand up for her beliefs and also witness the truth in love to another young person from the Indian tribe that held on to the false belief system. I saw that the next book in the series is due out October 8th of this year!
