Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Janyre Tromp's first 'tween novel is exceptionally strong and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Her first-person, storytelling style is warm, easy, and appealing. So are her characters. I read 'That Sinking Feeling', first of the Blue Water mystery series, straight through. The plot is believable and different because of the scuba aspect. Readers who like stories with twists are sure to enjoy this title and (like me) look forward to more."--Colleen L. Reece"Kregel Author" (04/03/2006) When I picked up That Sinking Feeling, I planned to read only one chapter before hitting the housework. Four chapters later I forced myself to put the story down. Every time afterward, Tromp drew me deeper into the story. Tromp's realistic characterization and intriguing plot should do the same for upper elementary and junior high readers. She utilizes the insecurities, disappointments, and awkwardness of that age to make Aud and Max, especially Aud, seem real. She also delivers a lesson on God's forgiveness after we've failed, and the importance of obedience without being preachy. This is great summer reading for the kids while they're out of school.--Debbie W. Wilson"Christian Book Previews" (01/02/2007) "In this delightful tween mystery novel, we meet Audrey Barringer, a vivacious thirteen-year-old. She would rather spend time scuba diving with her best friend, Max, off the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan than do anything else. This particular summer, however, has been a bust for Audrey--she can't dive alone and her dad is too busy working at his diving shop to take her. Her mom's on her case about not acting like a lady. Her perfect little sister seems to go out of her way to annoy her. Can things get worse for Audrey? You bet they can. When Audrey and Max accidentally stumble across evidence involving a rash of burglaries up and down the beachfront, things heat up. It appears as if Max's family is involved, and Audrey will do anything to protect her best friend--even if it means lying and disobeying. Now she's in way over her head, with no way out. Audreyis unique and lively voice comes alive in first person. I liked her and rooted for her even when I disapproved of her choices (as any mother would). Debut author, Janyre Tromp, resolves the situation with finesse and brings Audrey full circle in her relationship with Christ. Anyone who likes a lively, fast-paced mystery with a message will enjoy 'That Sinking Feeling' and will be on the lookout for the next Blue Water Mystery."--Susan K. Marlow"Wholesome Books for Kids" (04/05/2006)

Reseña del editor:

Disappointed when their anticipated summer of diving in the waters of northern Michigan is unexpectedly curtailed, thirteen-year-old Audrey and her best friend Max soon find more than enough excitement and danger when they stumble across a mystery involving a gang of thieves.
