Wave Breaker by Anh Do

Skydragon: Wave Breaker written by Anh Do is the fifth book in this popular series for middle grade readers. Amber and her carer Irene, still searching for Firefighter who may be Amber’s brother Reggie, are returning to Sennam but have landed in Spring Bay and found that their flight has been cancelled. This is the perfect opportunity for them both to relax and enjoy the sunshine and a beach holiday. However, Amber is drawn into yet another dangerous mystery when she meets a young boy called Eden who is worried the resident dolphins are missing. Amber is on high alert as she feels something is not quite right in Spring Bay and her suspicions are confirmed when she finds thousands of dead insects on the beach. She and Irene investigate, and this leads to further risks and Amber has to call on her insect powers to help solve the mystery for the town. Running parallel to this story is Firefighter’s story. He is on the run but unselfishly saves some people from a fire and he is exposed on media channels. Amber also has been exposed and Agent Ferris gets wind of both.  He is hot on their trail. But whom will he try to capture first? Book Six is coming soon.
