Description
Dido Twite, rescued from the sea by a whaling ship, encounters dark deeds in far-away Nantucket which demands all her resourcefulness and wit if she is to foil as evil a plot as ever threatened an island.
Quick Summary
Dido Twite returns in this wild Nantucket adventure where a rescued street urchin stumbles onto a diabolical conspiracy that threatens an entire island. Readers will devour the clever wordplay, Dido's sassy determination, and the pulse-pounding race against villains who will stop at nothing. If your kid loves the mystery and humor of "Enola Holmes" or the spunky heroines of "The Mysterious Benedict Society," they'll be hooked. This pitch-perfect read works best for ages 12 and up in grades 7 through 12.
