Island Danger by Margo Sorenson Genre: Tween/Young Adult Mystery Action Adventure Release: July 27, 2012 Editor: Nancy Bell Line Editor: Valerie Haley Cover Designer: Kaytalin Platt Words: 32984 Pages: 93 ISBN: 978-1-77127-106-6 Price: $4.50 Back Cover:
When fourteen-year-old soccer star Todd arrives in Hawaii, he hears that radical, militant Hawaiian activists have hidden weapons in a nearby ravine to use for their rebellion against the U.S. government to gain Hawaiian independence. Even though he’s warned that people are raising marijuana or “pakalolo” in the ravine, guarding their crops with rifles, pit bulls, and explosives, Todd plans to scout the ravine and find the weapons, hoping he can finally earn his family’s respect and find some adventure to offset his boring summer. What will Todd discover in the ravine that could force him to rethink everything he’s believed? Excerpt: Safe? Todd snapped bolt upright on the sofa, shoving a pillow aside. He strained to hear what his parents said in the kitchen. “But will Todd be safe this summer?” Mom asked Dad. “Isn’t it dangerous?” Dangerous? What were they talking about? Why couldn’t they talk louder? “Elly, for Pete's sake," Dad exclaimed. "Don't be ridiculous. Tom's a lieutenant colonel in the Marine Corps. Don't you think he can protect Todd? You’ve got to trust the U.S. Marines." Yeah, okay, maybe he’d need protection from his dorky cousins and their weirdness this summer in Hawaii—but what else was happening? Just then, their voices lowered, and Todd heard only murmurs from the other room. He cracked his knuckles, one by one, and frowned. His parents were leaving for six weeks, and they wouldn’t let him stay by himself—or at a friend’s house—even though he was almost fifteen. He had to spend six weeks with his stupid cousins in Hawaii, away from all his friends and his soccer team. It was baby-sitting, no doubt about it.

OUR READERS REVIEWS:
Elixir is fantasy at its best. Katie Caroll draws us into her world with ease, her well-polished writing style and flow holding us captive until the end. I especially liked the relationship between Katora and her sister Kylene, obviously drawn from real life. I can't wait to read the sequel.
I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this very charming and witty book to read on the skytrain. But I have to say it was kind of embarrassing. I couldn't stop giggling out loud at Maggie Lyon's humour. People kept looking at me, and I tried my hardest to hold in the laughter, but it was impossible. What a delightful story! What child wouldn't love this. It's a story for 6-10 year olds. It's a great book to read to your children when they're young or by themselves when they're older. If your child likes Geronimo Stilton, they'll fall in love with Dewie the little dragon and his friend Jones the toad. I hope Maggie Lyons will turn this into a series.
Joy Smith pulled me into the story on the very first pages. Fast moving, first I hated Victor, than I love him, than I hated until I loved him. And Marisol with her guarded heart had me hoping throughout that she'd open it again to love.
I loved her descriptions. They created such visuals, I felt I was traveling and discovering Colombia with Victor.
Ms. Smith writes believable, flawed characters that I wound up cheering and caring for on each page. I can't wait to read her next book. Goodreads Reader Review - Five Stars
"...murder, mystery and intrigue..plus did I mention our hero is a witch? Tex and his best friend Olivia are brilliant characters, really well written and I love tex's dad. Can't wait to read more about tex in the future! -Amazon Reader Review
I really enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot of this novel. From Annabelle putting her life in danger when running away from Boarding School where she has lived since the age of five to her tenacious pursuit in finding clues as to her origins.
She is rescued by Roland, who is too much of a gentleman not to help the intriguing young lady. I relished the suspense of the reciprocal desire between Roland and Belle which is thwarted by misunderstanding after misunderstanding and prevents them achieving mutual fulfilment. The reader yearns for the truth to replace the false pretences and for Roland and Belle to overcome each other's prejudices.
Rosemary Morris' major and minor characters spring to life. I sympathised with Annabelle and found Roland charming. Apart from this, Rosemary's great attention to every aspect of the Regency era is impressive.
False Pretences is a ripping read and I look forward to reading this author's next novel. - F.Way- Amazon Review
