Blast on the Beach (Brady Street Boys #8)
Description
Corolla, NC, the 1980s. Gary Fitzpatrick can’t wait to explore the beach. Thrilled to help his uncle run an ice cream parlor, he and his brothers are admonished by their grumpy downstairs neighbor who isn’t about to put up with any noisy shenanigans. But when he heads to investigate a terrified whinny coming from the backyard, he finds one of the area’s majestic horses caught in a chain with a tranquilizer dart stuck in its side.
Rewarded with a gruff friendship from the old local, the quick-witted teenager’s imagination runs wild when the man pulls out a weathered treasure map. But as soon as he seeks an expert for an appraisal of the antique object, someone breaks in and steals the precious document.
Hunting for clues at the home and the lighthouse, can Gary expose the truth?
Blast on the Beach is the uplifting eighth book in the Brady Street Boys Adventure Series. If you like faith-filled messages, fascinating mysteries, and seeing justice done, then you’ll love Katrina Hoover Lee’s fun escapade.
If you like Christian themes, strong family values, and triumphing over adversity, then you will love The Brady Street Boys Adventure Series. There will be nine books in the series, with each book focusing on one of the spiritual fruits: Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance. The three Brady Street Boys, Terry, Gary, and Larry, live in a small town on Brady Street and love adventure! Gary has a wooden leg, due to surviving cancer, but that doesn’t stop him from having fun. While meant for the junior age audience (8-14 years old) this would be a book that parents, teenagers, and young children could enjoy reading as well. This would make a perfect read aloud for the whole family. The illustrations are black and white hand sketches. ~Amber
