Rock Harbor Lost and Found by Colleen Coble and Robin Caroll

As soon as this book came in the mail, it was snatched by my two readers.  I didn’t see it again for months.  When the publisher contacted me and asked me “Hey Lana, remember that book you were suppose to giveaway by Colleen Coble?  I was like “Hmm….not really.”  I love they love Moms, who have no memory.  So I did a quick email search for the cover and remembered…my kids stole that book.

Yep, it was still in their stack of books.  Since we moved, I was amazed we found it.

I thought what better way to give a review about a kids’ book by kids.

So here is their take…but first let me give you the publisher’s notes.

From the publisher:

An old photo brings a shocking revelation and it’s up to Emily and her best friend Olivia to solve the case!

Fourteen-year-old Emily O’Reilly and her best friend Olivia Webster have a knack for solving mysteries. Emily has been busily training her new puppy Sherlock to be a Search and Rescue dog so that the two can lead search-and-rescue missions someday. So when Emily stumbles across an old photo of Olivia’s adoption day—a fact that has never been revealed to Olivia—the two quickly decide to uncover the mysterious details surrounding Olivia’s birth parents.

But the two bite off more than they can chew as they dig into learning more about Olivia’s adoption without notifying her parents. And to make matters worse, Emily’s mother Marika, a convicted felon recently released on parole, will stop at nothing to contact her daughter—a fact that Emily is not happy about.

When her beloved stepmother Naomi disappears, Emily takes it upon herself to connect the dots and conduct her own snow-bound search-and-rescue mission with Sherlock. Will Emily ever find the secret behind Naomi’s disappearance? And will Olivia ever learn the truth about her adopted parents?

Kids’ Review and Interview:

Did you like the book? 

In unision, YEP.

Can you tell me a little about the main character or character?

Well…Emily and Olivia find out that Olivia was adopted.

Then they try to find Olivia’s birth mother. Emily’s mom went to jail and her Dad remarried Naomi, who disappears.

Then Emily’s Mom shows up and tries to befriend Emily.

This sounds like quite a story…did it end the way you thought it should?

I didn’t really have a perfect ending.

Did this story make you grow up at all?

Not really, but it was quite scary at the beginning.

Would you recommend this book to a friend?  AND what ages?

Yes.  Double digits and up.

Would you want to read more in this series or by this author?

Most definitely and YES!

I should mention Colleen Coble is one of my favorite authors.  She has written books that I have reviewed before for adults.  I really think that one day one of her books would make a sweet Hallmark movie.
