She loves going on adventures and even named her dog after his ship, the HMS Beagle. When Lucky tries to find to find a missing artifact, half of a famous brooch in a well, she runs into trouble. Will she be alive for her birthday party? Read this amazing story that kept me guessing until the end.
Opinion:
I thought this book was a great story. The only problem was that it didn't really get exciting until I was at the middle of the book. I like how the story ends in a way I didn't expect. The characters and the setting was described well. I could picture the town and the characters in my mind. I think this is a great book for people who love adventures.
