Hurricane Mia Book Review And ~~Giveaway~~



"Mia's entire summer is ruined! First, she learns that her mom is sick. Then, she and her younger brother Jack are whisked away to their grandparents' home on a remote island in the Caribbean. Mia is furious until she meets Neisha, an island girl, who tells her about "the tea that cures everything." Will Mia be able to find the tea? Will it cure her mom? And will it prove to be her plane ticket back home? Join Mia on an incredible adventure, where she sails the high seas, meets wild donkeys, explores uninhabited islands, and searches for a magical tea."


This was a really cute story. Perfect for your young teenage reader.

Poor Mia has had it rough. Her Mother gets sick. She is sent to live with her Grandparents for the summer, and she is forced to miss out on vacationing with her best friend.

When Mia arrives at her Grandparents home, she becomes completely bored, and fights with her Grandmother over everything.

When Mia learns about a Tea that might solve all her problems, she recruits her new friend and her Brother to go on an adventure.

I thought this book was really cute. The only thing I wished the Author would have elaborated on was how Mia's Mother does at the end.

Other wise this is a really cute book with great illustrations by Susan Spellman!

I am also very happy to be able to give away a copy of this book to one lucky reader!!
