Mysteries at Sea: Peril on the Atlantic

Book Synopsis

July, 1936. As the Queen Mary sets sail across the Atlantic, Alice can’t wait for the summer of adventure that lies ahead. She’s excited to explore the huge ship, with its shops, animals and even celebrities on board.

But while Alice’s sailor father focuses on winning a prestigious race, she witnesses a shocking attack. Alice and her new friend Sonny start to uncover a dark sabotage plot, and as they investigate gold bars, anonymous notes and lost silk gloves, secrets in their own lives come to the surface.

When fog threatens the boat’s journey, and dangerous enemies show themselves, Alice and Sonny are in their own race to solve all the mysteries unfolding. But what they discover might change both their lives forever…

Our Review Panel says...

If you’re looking for a fast-paced mystery adventure, this is definitely one to add to your collection! With short chapters, action moves quickly and it is perfect for children who are beginning to build stamina for longer books. The setting and character descriptions allow for a clear picture to be created in the mind and are great for teachers to use as examples. Set in 1936, it would be a perfect book for those who like historical fiction and great for those who love anything Titanic-themed, as there are lots of similarities.
