Summary: Two Against the Tide
Comment: The two protagonists in this book are Sharon and Tom. Sharon is an ordinary preteen, who is intelligent and very curious. Tom, who is the older one, is also intelligent, but the more outgoing of the two. They get put into a peculiar situation, of being stuck on an island paradise, with no way of getting out. You would think being stuck on an island paradise is a good thing, but not when you are kidnapped by your aunt, in this case their Aunt Eve. She is an old lady, and the others on the island are elders too. Aunt Eve is brilliant, her kidnapping was perfect and she is always one step ahead of the kids. There are many actions from Aunt Eve that are amazingly intelligent in this thrilling and suspenseful novel. It is very cleverly written in third person and in past tense. I very much liked this book because it describes so vividly and I have a clear picture in my mind of what they looked like and I felt like I was there. The writing is glorious because it fits the exact personality as the characters and how they would act. Bruce Clements also did a good job of having cliff hangers and making it just a little suspenseful when it was needed to keep you on your toes. If there was one thing that I disliked about this book was that for just one chapter in the middle, he sort of dragged on and on about incidents and it gets just a touch boring. This book is all about losses emotionally,and about not knowing how you good you have it until you lose it, especially when you are homesick. Overall it is a very well written novel and I recommend it to all ages.
