Secrets at Sea Paperback – Illustrated, October 11, 2012

It took me a while to get into the storyline, but about half way through, I was invested in the characters. The author’s descriptions are spot on and easy to imagine as you read. I was very happy with the conclusion and plan to check out more books by this author.

What a treat to come upon this book-- it is charming, both my 6 year old daughter and her 8 year old brother loved it-- there is a sassy female heroine, swashbuckling adventure, endearing illustrations, and great vocabulary. I bought this for other young family members and all are delighted!

A very fun read. It is clever, with vivid characters. Kids will love it. It was a lot of fun.

Richard Peck can even make mice appealing! The voice is just awesome. This is a book to enjoy with your kids. Read it to them, explain some of the cliche's and expressions, because they might not get some of them. But it is too cute!

Love the mice . . . could they have any better fun? Got to finish this and either keep or gift it.

Perhaps not as appealing to children as other Richard Peck stories, but still interesting romance told from mouse point of view.

It was a really great read. I had fun the whole time until,the end. Very abrupt. Almost as if the author just didn't feel like writing any more. Disappointing end to a sweet book.

My son loves this audio book and listened to it for hours.
