Unexpected Visit
When Kendra and Seth’s parents need to take a trip, they arrange for the pair to stay with their grandparents. You might think that sounds ideal, but Kendra and Seth barely know their grandparents, who live in the middle of nowhere in Connecticut. But slowly, the siblings begin to discover there is more to their grandparents’ property. What does the revelation mean?

My nephew loves this series, and when he gave me this book for Christmas, I had to give it a try. As I expected going in, the set up felt a little slow to me, although I’m not sure how it could have been accomplished any faster. But the second half? I couldn’t read it fast enough. I appreciated that the story mostly wrapped up here while still leaving things opened for the next in the series. I like the characters, although I did find Seth annoying at times. Still, I liked where he and Kendra ended up. I’d be opened to a return visit to see what happens next to the characters.

I borrowed this book from the library for my mum and dad to read but i thought I would read it too so we could all talk about it. I was very pleasantly surprised by this book, it is packed full of information for not just grandparents but parents as well. It has sections which answer some probing questions you might have (questions that real people in real situations have asked the author)which I found very helpful. The book covers pretty much everything you would need to know about the child-parent-grandparent relationship, I can't actually think of anything that it might have missed...very thorough. It covers everything from emotions, relationships, financial aid, education, health issues and many other useful topics. I highly recommend this book to all grandparents.
