Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Dead Chest Island (The Secrets Begin #1) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
I had the pleasure of meeting [J.J. Parsons] at the Savannah Children's Book Festival. I told her I had picked up her book [Dead Chest Island] at a local book seller. She kindly gave me the second book. That said, this is an unsolicited and honest review.
[Dead Chest Island] is a throw back to the mysteries of the 1950's. It made me think of The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. Young children getting into adventure after hearing a story about an island that leads to solving a international crime, or foiling it, rather.
[Parson's] writing has a good flow and is well thought out. The characters are well developed. I am looking forward to reading the second book and hearing more of Edison'd adventures and see if his sister is still a pest. Highly recommend this book to school libraries.

Bohan Reviews (215 KP) rated Guava Island (2019) in Movies

It has a message and story to tell, but the story feels like an oversimplification, lacking the nuance and complexity that made "This is America" such a sensation.

Characters
Taylor portrays an unimaginable circumstance, being stranded on an island, with beautiful writing and an intriguing subplot. The sisters are very believable though I found it difficult to like Henri most of the time.
