🧡Peril on Providence Island by C. R. Hedgcock🧡

Blurb:

The Bakers are full of excitement as they head to the English countryside to celebrate Grandfather Wilson’s eightieth birthday.

When an elderly neighbor with Alzheimer’s Disease tells a tale of treasure lost on the high seas, the Bakers are sure she has confused reality with fiction. But as they find information that supports Old Marge’s story, they begin wondering whether there is truth in it after all.

Can the discovery of an ancient treasure help Old Marge stay in her beloved cottage and out of a nursing home? This question sends the Bakers on a swashbuckling adventure of mystery and peril, following an old diary through mysterious caves and a maze of clues in search of the missing treasure. Along the way, their quest is marked by amazing providences that point to this key conclusion: God’s ways are always right and true.

My thoughts:

Let me first start off this review by saying that I recommend this book and series so much for kids. It’s very influencing in a good way, because of how the Baker Family’s lives revolve around Christ and Christianity and it’s so encouraging! Their family is so lovable and as you keep getting to know them book by book, you start getting attached as if they are real. This is what makes C. R. Hedgcock a good writer! She makes it real.. not only the characters; but the story and the Faith portrayed in this book. 

In this sequel of the series, we see that the Baker Family is on another adventure. An adventure in England! We also get to see some favorite characters come back from the first book as well! 😍❤️ 

The mystery was very well thought out, and was solved by the end of the book. (Thank goodness, no cliffhangers lol) The sibling relationship among Philip, Abby, Andy, and Tom was so sweet 🥹 and I absolutely loved their Grandparents! 

In conclusion this was a great sequel to the series and a good book that younger kids would enjoy!
