review 1: Thirteen-year-old Abbey Force has lived on Reward Plantation near Charleston, S.C. all her life. In fact the Force family has owned and worked the plantation since the early 1700’s. Now everything has changed. Abbey’s father, a Charleston lawyer, is in a coma following a fall from a ladder. His reputation is in ruins because he has been accused of stealing jewels and gold from one of his elderly clients. The plantation has been sold to strangers and Abbey is forced to live with her abusive uncle. Now that school is over for the year Abbey plans to solve the mystery of the missing jewels and clear her father’s name. Abbey is beset by a plethora of problems including a greedy uncle, a menacing bully, an unscrupulous sheriff, and a baffling mystery. Fortunately, ... moreAbbey finds help and encouragement in her new neighbor Bee. Together the two girls attempt to avoid the villains and solve the mystery surrounding her father and the strange happenings at Felony Bay. I have a few issues with the book. I felt that the word “ya’ll” was overused and used incorrectly. The plot and abilities of the heroine seemed far-fetched at times. There was also quite a bit of violence. For example, Abbey punches the bully several times after he pushes her or bullies someone else. Abbey’s uncle and the bully’s father are both abusive. The villains try to feed Abbey and Bee to the alligators. All that being said, the book was fast-paced, absorbing, and exciting.
review 2: this was a marvelous book. I finished it in tears and had so much hope for the characters upon entering the final chapter. The ending was enough but not my absolute favorite, but I think that's just personal preference. I still loved this book all the way through and woul def recommend this to anyone who wants suspenseful ride into the heart of a swampy plantation. I read this all in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. less
