My Review:
Having basically grown up in the sky, Kitty Hawk is ecstatic when she has the chance to spend the summer in Alaska. Packing up her things, she gets in her plane and heads off on an adventure. But little does, she know that this summer is going to be totally different from anything she's ever experienced before. Arriving in Juneau, Kitty expects her trip just to involve studying humpback whales. But she finds herself trying to solve the mystery of some stolen gold, involving criminals and more.
Kitty Hawk and the Curse of the Yukon Gold, is an amazing read for people of all ages. It is full of adventure with plenty of maps to help you to feel as if you are apart of the adventure as well. Opening this book, I didn't know that I would soon be sucked into the world of Kitty Hawk and her trip to Alaska. I just loved how funny and sassy Kitty was. This author sure knows how to write and I enjoyed this book greatly even though there was a bit of bad language. I hope to read more in this series real soon!
