Theis book is amazing and I loved it!!! Mo is 11 years old, but 11 years ago she washed ashore during a flood. She and her best friend, Dale, must solve a murder and other adventures, all the while Mo is trying to find her unknown mother.
It’s AWESOME!!!!!Very emotional story. About a girl who got 3 times lucky and 1 got in a hurricane 2 got saved by a old man 3 is still alive today.
Im reading it right now. It is pretty cool so far! I'm flabbergasted there are so many great books I heard of, but I thought that looked boring (sometimes I judge a book by its cover lol). But I am enjoying this book so far.
This book was super sweet and I loved the writer's style. It was a mix of every genre, with some realistic fiction, adventure, and just a bit of everyday life.
