review 1: Overall this is nice book. Its filled with mysteries,friendship,adventure,and love. Its a very detailed book and its also creative. The format of the book is very cool and different from many books i have read. I would rate this book a four. In the book the main characters name is Lyza and she is 13 years old. She has two best friends, Carolann and Malcolm.They have all been friends for a long time and still are. She also has a sister named Denise.In my opinion Denise is good sister to lyza by watching over her.She only has one parent and that's her dad.She has seen many of her family member's die including her grandpa.This books reminds of the 1900's because of the setting (1968). It talked about little times in the 1900's like the Vietnam war.This story takes place somew... morehere in New Jersey area.
review 2: I loved this book! It's a mystery with tantalizing clues left to Lyza by her grandfather—an envelope containing three maps, two letters, a note about the Brigantine Historical Society, and a brass key. It's also a coming of age story that shows three friends--Lyza, Malcolm, and Carolann--dealing with family issues like a mother who disappeared, a brother drafted and in Vietnam, responsibilities for taking care of two twin brothers. And all the while the three friends persevere in figuring out the clues Lyza's grandfather left. It's a beautifully written and exciting story—I give it 5+ stars! less
