Bottled Up - Paperback

by E. C. Andrews (Author), Amelia Harris (Illustrator)

Bella's life in the big city is fine. Though her mom died last year, she still has her friends. She still has her school. But when Dad's aunt dies, leaving him her house across the country, Dad says it's a sign for them to go home. Bella does not know what he means. The big city is her home. But Dad's decision is final: They're moving to a place called Driftwood Bay. At first, Bella is determined to hate the sleepy seaside town. Then a strange message in a bottle washes up at her feet . . . Characterized by exciting, fast-paced plots and age-appropriate themes, Lighthouse's Hi-Lo books are both engaging and easy to read. Short chapters, simple sentence structures, and an accessible format make these books perfect for lower tween reluctant readers. Lighthouse books are written at a 1st- to 2nd-grade reading level with an interest level of ages 7 and up.
