In this second book in the School Ship Tobermory series, the happy crew head off for an adventure in the Caribbean. There they swim, kite surf, and become involved with another exciting and dangerous rescue mission.This is not on my Mock Newbery list, but it was a delightful break from the more "acclaimed" books. Completely free from angst and full of wish fulfillment, this is just as delightful and frothy as the first in the series. If I had three children, ages 7, 5, and 3 this is a book I would love to read aloud to them. The kids in the book aren't perfect but they are respectful of their elders, and actually go to them for help. Do you know how rare that is in children's lit? (2017, 243 p.)
