Rock Harbor Search and Rescue: Lost and Found

De: Colleen Coble

Narrado por: Devon O'day

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?

Perfect for your budding detective!

I cannot say enough about how this wonderful series doesn't talk down to its target audience or trivialize their troubles! The difference in quality, story pacing and high interest in Coble's YA mysteries and adult thrillers is minimal. As a 47 year old, I stayed engaged and was bamboozled to the end! Though I love her thrillers, these clean, wholesome mysteries bring all of Coble's usual small town charm wrapped in taut, edge of your seat circumstances with the bonus of not having content that may be too much detail for younger audiences! Love this series!

“Belonging”

JWright
Our story is an excellent one for middle school readers. Emily, the protagonist, faces many common challenges of young people today— friends, isolation, family, and choosing to do the right thing when the consequences are certain to be difficult.
The language is well done, maybe better than the language most teens actually speak because of the negative influence of modern media. I always enjoy a good story that includes animals.

Christian values

I loved the book because of the Christian values and language. It is a great read for young people too.
