So, this month I’m recommending: Happiness Seeker by Jennifer Burkinshaw
Yes, again I’ve chosen a text for younger readers again. I could hardly put this one down.
Allie is at Grange-Over-Sands on a school trip. The very place is beautiful and dangerous at the same time.
There are other delights and dangers too. Allie is irritated by the relationship developing between her best friend and her nemesis. Then she becomes romantically involved with the mysterious Mareno. He is threatened not just from the shifting sands and strong currents. Allie’s attempt to put this right is doomed to failure. When her greatest enemy attempts to right a wrong, four lives are put in danger. There are deaths and near misses. This text tackles some modern but also age old problem: migration and modern slavery.
Happiness Seeker is beautifully narrated by the very talented Jennifer Burkinshaw.
