The Wanderer

My book was called The Wanderer. This book is just right for you if you like adventure and a whole lot of suspense!This book is about a young girl named Sophie who goes on a very exciting adventure with her cousins Cody and Brian. She also goes on this journey with her uncles. At first Sophies mother didn't want her to go on the adventure. As soon as her uncles and cousins came to get her and the boats ready her mom had no choice but to let her go with them! On this adventure their destination is Ireland. They are gonig to Ireland from Connecticut. They are going to Ireland to see their grandfather Bompie. They are going to see Bompie for two reasons, the first reason is that he is very sick and he has a nurse living at his house with him. The second reason is, they haven't seen him in a long time and they wanted to catch up with him and see how he is doing. Although there are some bumps along the road while they are traveling to get there. They are traveling just fine until there are storm clouds up ahead. They would turn around but, then the storm would be pushing them with it and they would never stop going. They decide to go straight through the storm and luckily they made it out safely. After the storm they took a rest and docked at a small town nearby. The people there are very nice. All of a sudden no one can find Sophie and Cody? Where could they be? They found a small boat and traveled to an island that their grandfather Bompie met his first wife at. Cody did not know that the island is where their grandfather had met his first wife Rose. They stayed there for only a day and when they came back they headed off to continue their journey. They were about three fourths away from their destination.Two days after they started their journey they were there in Ireland they were so excited to be there. That night they had to stay in an inn until their grandfather was well enough for them to be able to see him. The next day they headed to Bompie's house and when they approached him the nurse said to be very calm and quiet because he is very confused and doesn't know who they are, who he is , why they are there, and who they are. But, when they started to tell him one thing about each of them and a couple of things about his own life then he started to understand them. They were very happy to see him as his old self again! Sadly the nurse said that they had to leave and he needed some rest because it ws very overwhelming for him to see all five people at once. Even though there were ups and downs in this book it was definetly a good book!

I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense, drama , and especially adventure! You can find it here in our local Woodbrook library! The author of this book is Sharon Creech. If you like this book you would also look for, Walk Two Moons, and Chasing Redbird! I hope you will enjoy this book as much as i did!
