When it was announced that Avery and her family would be joining her mother's siblings on an island that used to be a vacation spot for their families for years, she is excited but also a bit nervous. She would be there with no cell service and aunts and uncles and cousins she hadn't seen for years.
Upon arrival on the island, Avery loved the old main house. Each family would be sleeping in cabins scattered over the island. The cabins needed a good cleaning and repairs due to been abandoned since the family visited long ago. She found this interesting, but that was not the case for everyone.
Avery is the same age as her cousin Jax. At first, they don't seem to have much in common. In a few short days, and after learning about Aunt Robbie's health news and her plans for reuniting the family before deciding to sell the house and buildings, both Avery and Jax are determined to learn as much as possible about the past. Finding bits and pieces of a journal written by one of their aunts, helps them, but they only have a few short weeks to put all the pieces together.
Author Erin Soderberg Downing weaves a fascinating tale of family drama that is sure to captivate readers. There are plenty of twists and turns and surprises to keep the pages turning in this middle grade mystery.
