"Yeah, now you’re interested," she says, but she hands it up to me. Radar’s been going off for God knows how long. She takes Mom’s spyglass out of her pocket, unrolls it, looks through. My neck stings from where she woke me up by stabbing me with her fingernails.
I open my eyes and settle on Beleza’s leather boots stomping to the bow. It was so refreshing to see a real feeling family unfold, even if they were sea monster hunters at the same time.So yeah, this was heartfelt and a lot of fun! Read more She also shows the parts where love is there, but it's shadowed by guilt and anger. She shows the good times, with giggles and games. Moskowitz shows a family who bickers, and sometimes all out fights, but at the end of the day still have deep love for one another. It does a really good job of going back and filling things in though.I think what I really loved was the familial relationships in this story. In other words, this book starts out with a whole lot of fanfare and not much explanation. The reader is dumped into a sea monster fight, and then slowly finds out what these four kids are travelling around and hunting them in the first place. Or, rather, I don't know what I actually expected, but I ended up loving this! It's told in vignettes, from the point of view of the second oldest in the family.
Oh wow, this book was something way different than what I expected. Something that could give Indi a normal life.Īcclaimed author Hannah Moskowitz has reinvented yet another genre in this ridiculously propulsive epic that is part seafaring epic, part coming-of-age tale, and a totally warm-hearted story of a boy who loves his family and just wants to figure his own self out-if only the fate of the world weren't on his shoulders. Something that would take the little kids away from the sea that's turning Oscar into a pirate and wasting Zulu's brilliant six-year-old mind. Maybe it's something valuable enough to distract Beleza from her mission to hunt down the monster that killed their parents. He's constantly battling his ferocious love for his siblings and the temptation of his parents' journal, which contains directions to a treasure that their parents hinted at. He never loved it, but now that his parents are gone-vanished during a hunt three months ago-it's harder and harder to fight his desire to escape. Roaming the Mediterranean Sea on sailboats and hunting down monsters is the only life seventeen-year-old Indi and his siblings have ever known.
