The Detective’s Guide to Ocean Travel

Review by Tilly Kensley

The Detective’s Guide to Ocean Travel was an immensely bewildering mystery novel, with so many twists and turns, suspects and elements.  I could never predict what was going to happen next or decide how it was going to turn out.  As soon as Pepper and her friends go to one answer, another possibility came up. This created a story that kept me wanting to know more and I kept reading well after Mum and Dad told me to turn my light out and go to sleep. With a very smart ending I conclude that this book was A-maze-ing!!

Fish Kid and the Turtle Torpedo

Review by Chloe Gargan

I really enjoyed this funny book. Fish Kid is a boy with fish powers who loves the ocean and all its creatures. The story is about Fish Kid saving the turtles.

The book taught me lots about different sea creatures, I never knew that Green Sea turtles can lay 100 eggs at a time.

The story made me feel like I was in the ocean swimming with the turtles and dolphins in their habitat.

Fish Kid reminds us that we need to look after our oceans and sea animals.
