Children ages 8 to 13, and students in grades 4 to 7, will eagerly follow Aaron's adventures in this suspenseful page turner, as he learns to navigate a kayak, discovers another side to a bully, shares a first kiss, encounters the desperate world of human trafficking, and challenges an evil smuggler who threatens the entire group. The sequel to author Jonathan London's outstanding children's novel 'Desolation Canyon', 'Bella Bella' is very highly recommended for both school and community library collections. For personal reading lists it should be noted that 'Bella Bella' is also available in a paperback edition and in a Kindle format. --Children's Bookwatch<br><br>In this novel, London once again delivers an infectious blend of action, science, and tween romance to readers of all ages. The author's son, Sean, also returns with gorgeous illustrations accompanying the narrative's truly magical moments, like when orcas "swam right between our kayaks, their dorsal fins slicing the surface!" Aaron's growing pains are visible not only regarding his crush on Lisa, but also whenever his father applauds Cassidy (Aaron thinks: "It was like a needle stuck in my skin hearing my dad praise him like that"). After presenting various opinions, the book addresses the central conflict of poor refugees seeking better lives thoroughly and compassionately. Aaron endears himself to audiences, not by being an awkward kid but a blossoming young man. An impressive sequel about an aquatic journey that stands on its own while building on the first trip. --Kirkus Reviews<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jonathan London has written more than one hundred picture books for children, many of them about wildlife.
