this book is Awesome i love it please read it

Where do I even begin? Honestly, I loved this book along with the preceding one, Shadows on the Sea. It was very informative about life during WW2 as well as the aftermath in later chapters of the book. Wendy definitely endured a lot more than Jill. So the first book was more of like a foreshadowing to the *actual* main character. That's how I see it. The story didn't really go anywhere with Jill, apart from the last 50~ pages of the book. But even then, it did not really add up. To summarize book 1: The girl, Jill, finds a hidden submarine, hides, calls police, but nothing happens because the submarine escaped. Mostly gossip around Winter Haven. And Nana's secret turns out to be.. well.. not all that confidential. It has you expecting something EPIC but Nana's secret is a total let-down. You're better off skipping to the end pages of the book to skip all that unnecessary suspense. However, despite this, I still very much enjoyed the story and how it was inspired by the author's own personal life, because Joan Hiatt Harlow (the author) experienced WW2... and it's so cool hearing her story. To Summarize book 2: In comparison to Jill's story, Wendy's involved active warfare, imprisonment, spies, and refugees for instance. There was a lot at stake. Berlin was way more intense than peaceful and cottagey Maine. I thought Wendy's relationship with her mother was intangible to describe. It was very.. complicated? To say the least. Wendy bounces back and forth from loving her mom to hating her mom etc. Wendy keeps a lot of secrets from Adrie (mom) because her mom a) works for a spy organization & b) very short-tempered. Because of this, this convinces a 15yo girl to take drastic measures and travel all the way to Sweden with a bunch of trusted strangers. Fast forward and now you have 19yo Wendy, who's identity is a complete mess (is she Jewish, German, American or all 3? Hard to say.). My only major critique is that Wendy did not meet up with Jill again, at least directly. I was very surprised that very little was mentioned about Jill. Although numerous times Wendy says Jill is her friend, I am not entirely convinced this is the case. Finally, I'm really confused about Barret. Again, DESPITE THIS, this couple-series is still GREAT. I was more or less nitpicking. I highly encourage reader to acknowledge the author's afterword. I may check out more of Joan's books but by far I consider Shadows on the Sea & The Watcher to be the best... this is the only series-type Joan has written, which tells you a lot about how much her readers loved the books!

It was ok. It was very sad in some parts. I liked the chapter about 5:30. It was funny. I would recommend reading the book but I would get a box of tissues!

This book is pretty funny. It has a CD with all the songs in the book on it. It is supposed to be sung by a bunch of animals, and here are some samples from the songs: "COWS! We're remarkable cows! And wherever we go it's a fabulous show, oh you know we are COWS!" "Nobody understands me, although I wish they would," "I've got those dinosaur blues, from my hat to my shoes, i'm so terribly blue, oh no oh what can i do, i've got those dinosaur blues." My brother loves a very fast song called busybusybusy, and my sister's favorite is faraway cookies. Mine is also faraway cookies.

This is another amazing adventure of the Thea Sisters. This time, the Thea Sister' friend, Ashwin calls from Chennai, India. He was talking and suddenly a buzzing gray screen takes over. The Thea Sisters race to India and find monkeys all over. The find Ashwin and he told them about the chaotic monkeys.

The Thea Sisters split up and find the monkey trainers capturing and train monkeys to steal gold. The Thea Sisters save the day once more!

This book is so colorful and educational! It gives you fun facts about animals and also has many jokes inside! This book also includes many interesting species of animals that you may have not heard of before. This book is appropriate for any age. I recommend it for any grade level. I rate it 5/5.

It was a very good book. There was a good beginning,middle and end. My favorite part of the book is when Scaredy planned his birthday party.
