I'm still in Summer Ketchup mode. Don't know what that is? Go HERE. Like I mentioned back in HERE, I'd be popping in from time to time to help out FPP (fellow pub peeps), writer friends, and to make announcements.
Today I'm doing a FPP, so here goes:
This book sounds so unique. But not only the book. Read on about the author. She's wonderful. And this cover is so different, too!<3
Description: High school changes everything for Kenzie Ryan and Angelo Sanchez—especially their relationship. After spending all summer cracking crimes against endangered wildlife in Big Pine Key, Florida, now they barely see each other. Angelo hangs out with a Porsche-driving quarterback and a stunning local “Conch princess” and Kenzie struggles with being a newbie among the Key West cliques.
But high school drama gets over-shadowed when horrific numbers of pelicans are found tortured near the islands where they live. Kenzie begs Angelo to help stop the slaughter, but he refuses until a stunning family secret is revealed.
When a Sanchez Fish House employee falls under suspicion, the list of suspects explodes, and the discovery of illegal activity exposes Angelo and Kenzie to the same deadly risk faced by the pelicans they are trying to save...

Sounds good! I think environmentally conscious stories are a good idea, especially when aimed at youth, as they're the most receptive to it, and it's a cause they can sometimes have power to do something about.
Stories about animals are some of my favorites. When they're mistreated, I get really angry. Your book sounds like a great story. Congratulations, Bonnie. Best of luck to you.
Congrats Bonnie this book is definitely not a read you see everyday.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheena-kay. You summed it up perfectly.
