THE BUCCANEERS OF St. FREDERICK ISLAND by LINDA MARIA FRANK – Review by Heather Stanley

The Buccaneers of St. Frederick Island by Linda Maria Frank
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This story is full of adventure and mystery and kept me guessing until the very end! It is a very intriguing short story about a group of young students trying to solve a mystery in their small town. The story follows a group of young investigators as they follow leads of fires, caves and much more. They have been investigating this mystery since before the story begins and the mysteries kept piling up! It has a very diverse cast of characters, which was a nice change from most stories out there.

After the first two chapters I was so intrigued about the mysterious goings on and wanted to know everything, could not put it down. I finished it in one sitting for I wanted to know all the answers. I had more and more questions after each chapter, keeping me invested in the story until the very end. I did wish some things had more of an introduction or explanation, but for the most part it flowed well. If you love stories that have tons of mystery set in a small town then this one is for you! I got very Sherlock Holmes vibes and loved that!

There were some darker parts not great for very young children, but was a story I would read with children maybe 7/8 and older.

All in all an entertaining read, perfect for a rainy Saturday afternoon.
