Summer of sabotage by Bob Temple
Raintree, ISBN 978 1406215960.
Recommended for upper primary and those older, who find reading a
challenge. A good 'who done it' mystery. The plot is well
developed and keeps the reader in suspense until the end. Daniel and
Aaron love the water park and spend as much of the summer there as they
can. Unaccountable accidents begin to occur and Daniel is sure
they are deliberate so he decides to investigate much to his friend
Aaron's initial amusement. But when they are forbidden to go to
the Park for a week they both spend their time thinking of possible
suspects. Is it Gabe, the Water Park's Manager, Mrs Parker or even
Janie, the heroine of the Water Park. The language is not complex, has
simple sentences and the chapters short and easily read. A useful
Glossary, Discussion Questions, Author Information, Writing Prompts and
most useful is a double page of water safety suggestions.
Typeface and font are very appropriate.
