The girls, who live all over the country, soon find that they all love trying to solve a good mystery. The first book, "Camp Club Girls and The Mystery at Discovery Lake," introduces readers to the girls and tells the story of how they all meet at Camp Discovery, a summer youth camp. McKenzie, the cowgirl from Montana Alexis, the California cheerleader Bailey, the golf prodigy from Peoria, Illinois and Kate, the gadget girl from Philadelphia. There's Elizabeth, from Amarillo and, as the oldest, the group's leader Sydney, the active girl from Washington D.C. Each girl is unique in her own way, and all of them are blessed with the gift of curiousity that sometimes leads them into a bit of trouble now and then. The "Camp Club Girls" series features a group of friends, six girls in all, who meet at summer church camp and become life-long friends. With the abundance of vampires, werewolves and other icky creatures being the theme of so many "teen" novels, it's a breath of fresh air to find a sweet, fun adventure series that is age-appropriate for young girls. Finding suitable reading material for girls, ages 8 to 12, is sometimes tricky.

And here are the questions that claw our hearts and gnaw at our peace-of-mind about the sequel : So after we read that last page of Seraphina, we are at a cliffhanger ending. You might want to check Why Seraphina is a must-read for dragon lovers. If you still have not added Seraphina to your TBR, I urge you to do that. Seraphina and Prince Lucian have decided to be secretive about their love for another so as not to upset Princess Glisselda, Lucian’s fiance. Orma, Seraphina’s uncle and a dragon who loves knowledge, is sent to have his memories removed. Dragons and humans have begun to distrust one another. Seraphina needs to find the other half breeds. This is a major reason why Seraphina made it to my Favourite Books of Second Half of 2016.Īt the end of Seraphina we are standing at the brink of a war. When Seraphina ended, I wanted nothing more than to read Shadow Scale straight away and follow Seraphina’s adventures. This review may contain spoilers to Seraphina. Shadow Scale is the sequel to Seraphina by Rachel Hartman. Seraphina continues on her journey to find the other half breeds. In this she does the latter, really giving the reader a sense of Becca’s insecurity as a young person painfully emerging into adulthood and desperate not to be rejected. But there is a difference between use for sensation, just for the sake of it, or as a tool to immerse the reader in the story. Sex scenes are notoriously very hard to write well, but the author launches into the scenes as vigorously as the protagonists and with enormous credibility and sensitivity. Sarah Pinborough shies away from neither. Young adult writing is also constantly testing boundaries, particularly with regards to the degree to which sexually explicit content and profanities are used. The young adult arena is an interesting and challenging one to write in because young adult readers are discerning audience, demanding both a great deal from a plot and the characters within it. As they work together to find out what happens, the sinister world of intrigue surrounding Natasha’s drowning is slowly revealed. So she elicits the help of a former friend Becca, who is keen to help her because she has never really got over Natasha dumping her and wants to feel again the warmth of their once close bond. After 16-year-old Natasha effectively dies for 13 minutes when she nearly drowns in a river, she has no idea what has happened to her or who was responsible for it.
