Summary: READ DEADLY WATERS
Review: I am a lower elementary teacher (first through third grades) and each week we have storytime twice a week. Last year, I read this book to my students representing the "mystery" genre. Not only is this a wonderful read-aloud book for any age group, but it is a perfect mystery as every single chapter ends with everyone wanting to know what happens next. I had every student on the "edge of their seats" so to speak, which is a very challenging thing to do when you have such a diverse group.This year, when I started storytime, my students asked if I was going to read Deadly Waters again. I told them I'd get another in the series and read that to them. I just hope the others are even half as good. Just as a side-line: the characters are truly one of the best things about this book. Strong female and male characters that the students could really root for and understand.

Summary: Action-packed excitement with many strong characters.

Summary: READ DEADLY WATERS
Review: The book Deadly Waters by Gloria Skurzznski and Alane Ferguson. First there were manatees getting sick and dieing. So the Landon family got called to Florida. Than Gordon came and stole Jack's camera. After they went to a restaurant they saw Gordon's boat. Jack's parents left to go to other places so Jack and Bridger went to go check out the boat. When they got to the boat Jack found his camera and took it. Than Gordon came and pulled out a gun than held it to Jack's waist.
At the beginning of the book I thought I wouldn't like it but I did like it. There was a bit of action in the book. My favorite character in the book is Bridger because he wouldn't really give up. At the ending they solved why the manatees were getting sick.

Summary: Cliff-hanging adventure.
Review: These are the most exciting mystery books that you'll ever read. I personally like these books because it's not all mystery. It also has a lot to do with adventure. You definitely can't put this book down after you start reading it. The Landon family has gone to Florida to the Everglades with their potential foster kid, Bridger. While Olivia, Jack and Ashley's mom, researches about the manatees, Jack, Ashley, and Bridger get to go fishing with their guide, Frankie - a girl! She drops them off at the Watson place, which is said to be cursed, to go drop off an injured pelican that they found on the way. Meanwhile, this guy in a boat shows up, acting all nice, and steal Jack's camera. Why did he do it? This little robbery could lead to a big exciting mystery that uncovers many essential problems. This is the most cliff-hanging series that you'll ever read. I recommend this to anyone who's not into a lot of mystery. If you're like that, then this is for you. This series has 12 books. I've read #1- Wolf Stalker, #2- Cliff-Hanger, #4- Rage of Fire, #6- Ghost Horses, and now, #3- Deadly Waters. Guess what? This isn't a series that you have to read in order. You can see that I haven't been. So, you should try out #3- Deadly Waters, and all the other, Mysteries in our National Parks.

Summary: Deadly Waters is certainly not deadly dull.
Review: This fourth book in the National Parks Mystery series is set in the Florida Everglades where Jack and Ashley's mother is investigating mysterious deaths in the manatee population. The story moves at a fast pace, balancing action with accurate information about the wildlife found in the Everglades. This book follows much the same formula set in the first three books in the series: Jack, Ashley and Bridger (the latest foster child the Landon family has taken in). explore the National Park and do some unofficial investigating while their parents aid the official investigation into the manatees' deaths. These books are well written and very well researched. Both mystery buffs and animal lovers should find plenty to keep their interest. The photographs in the middle of the book are a great bonus. Fans of Jean Craighead George's ecological mysteries are sure to enjoy this series as well.
