Operation Typhoon Shore (The Guild of Specialists, Book 2)
by Joshua Mowll© 2006, 277 pages Level 5 (all about levels)Amazon Reviews
Operation Typhoon Shore is one of the most creative books I have ever read and definitely a Best Read. About 95% of the pages have at least one photograph, sketch, or databank that relates to the story. The book is mainly told in third-person, but Becca's diary entries, which are featured throughout the book, give her view of the story through a first-person perspective. I highly recommend reading the first book, Operation Red Jericho (which is just as great), before this one, as the second book doesn't give you much information about the events that occurred in the first one.
Becca and Doug MacKenzie are two children who live with their uncle, a captain of the Expedient and a member of the Guild of Specialists, on his boat. Though their parents are missing mysteriously, the MacKenzies are loyal to the captain, and go with him on a mission to find an evil man named Julius Pembleton-Crozier. They get caught in a typhoon on their way to his hide-out however, and are dumped on a strange island.
The rest of the story unfolds in a magnificent tale of betrayal, loyalty, and dark secrets. Operation Typhoon Shore is a spectacular book for a fifth level reader.
