The Pirate’s Hideout
Pirate’s Cove Book 1
by A. J. Lark
“Did you guys know this camp is haunted?”
Brett Rigby is off to school camp: a week of fun, games, and practical jokes. But when he hears the story of how Pirate’s Cove Camp got its name, Brett can’t help wondering if there’s any truth in the rumors.
Tales of pirates and ghosts spark Brett’s imagination, but when he plays detective, things go badly wrong. Add an angry schoolteacher and a mysterious caretaker to the mix, and you just know trouble is coming.
Helped by two unexpected friends, Brett is in for the adventure of a lifetime. Will he solve the mystery and clear his name?
5 out of 5 fairies
I will admit, when I first started reading, I absolutely despised Brett – but the deeper I got into the story, the more intrigued I got, and eventually we get to see a better side of Brett than what we’re first introduced to. Kids who have been bullied might not like Brett at first either, but I thought Lark did a great job writing him – he’s true to his character, and you can see how he views what he’s doing, and the reactions to him are expected. Emily and Kenneth were also quite interesting characters, and while they’re three very different and distinct personalities thrust together for the duration of camp, they work well together. The whole mystery gives off Scooby-Doo meets Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys vibes, and I loved it as an older fan of all three. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what else this series has in store!
