Críticas:

Lauren St John interweaves so much ecological detail into her books and I have to say, for me, the 'Laura Marlin Mysteries' are amongst my favourite of her books. It's so often the case that adventures and mysteries become so plot led, and fast-paced that characterisation can suffer. This is definitely not the case in these books and the central relationship between Laura and Skye is very touching and evokes childhood incredibly well. (Jake Hope)

The setting and the conservation theme may be utterly modern, but what we have here is, in essence, a good old-fashioned adventure story where villains are thoroughly bad and the heroes ensure they get their come-uppance after a series of breath-taking adventures and near-misses. A thoroughly good read (THE BOOKBAG)

An old fashioned adventure entirely without magic, the supernatural or parallel universes. And Laura's dog doesn't talk. How rare that now is (Nicolette Jones THE SUNDAY TIMES)

Written in brief, fast-paced chapters, most of which end with a cliff hanger, this book lends itself to reading aloud to upper Junior school pupils. It would also provide exciting independent reading for any 8-11 year olds who enjoy detective novels or who are concerned about the oceans' endangered marine species. Laura Marlin fans who loved Dead Man's Cove and who have eagerly awaited the sequel will not be disappointed (BOOKS FOR KEEPS)

A really enjoyable book...great for confident younger readers. It has just the right amount of action, friendship and danger to make it a compelling and exciting read (Liz de Jager MY FAVOURITE BOOKS)

'Lauren's books are brilliant ¿ I¿m always dying to know happens next. They are thrilling and told in such detail. I would highly recommend this book and all the others Lauren has written in the Laura Marlin Mysteries and White Giraffe series¿ (THE SUN Clemmie Clements, Aged 9)

This story has a timeless classic feel whilst at the same time not shying away from contemporary subject matter. Children will love and treasure these books as the series progresses (Lynda Waterhouse AWFULLY BIG BLOG ADVENTURE)

The Enid Blyton of our age... (Amanda Craig THE TIMES)

A classic adventure (CHICKLISH)

another cracking adventure ... a page-turner with plenty of action and twists to keep young readers engaged. (TELEGRAPH.CO.UK)

Reseña del editor:

Laura cannot contain her excitement when she wins a trip to the Caribbean for herself and her uncle, Calvin Redfern, especially when her best friend, Tariq, and her three-legged husky, Skye, accidentally find themselves on board too. But when they dock at Antigua, they discover that Calvin Redfern has vanished, and Laura and Tariq are about to be kidnapped by the fearsome Straight A gang. Dramatic escapes, an erupting volcano and a race against time to stop the deadly undercover 'Marine Concern' make Laura's second adventure every bit as exciting as the first.
