Well one of the first things I learned their is surfing on the great lakes. The story drew me into caring for Emily right away. I was getting angry with her father not believing in her.
Good Plot, likeable characters, drama, action, suspense and good information about search and rescue. Makes
Emily is in middle school. She makes jewelry and wants to do search and rescue with her own dog when she gets older. Her father said if she earned 150$ he will get the rest of the money for her birthday. She has to prove she is responsible first.
Emily has made a lot of jewelry that she hopes will sell at Fall festival.
Emily has helped out during the summer with training search and rescue dogs center. Her stepmother is a member of search and rescue with her dog Charlie. Sometimes Emily gets to go with her and help search.
A necklace at the booth next door to Emily's was stolen and a copy of it that Emily had made was switched in its place. Her father made Emily give her hard money to her because she was watching the book for her when it might have been taken.
Witness show up who heard that Emily was making the copy so she could steal it. Even her family does not believe in her. Students in school are mean to her. Emily feels she needs to solve the case if she is to have any chance to get her own search and rescue puppy.
I was given this ebook to read and in exchange asked to give honest review of it by Netgalley.

What a young girl doesn't need is to be accused of a crime she didn't commit. She feels like even her Dad has let
This book will make you feel like there is no one who believes in you. Yet there is much support from her Step-Mom, and other friends, including her best friend Olivia. Travel with this young teens on this adventure that will keep you turning the page.
There is a sense of unease when Em's and Timmy's real mother is about to be released from Prison. Also you question some of the people who might or might not be friends. We do go on a few rescues with the dogs, to find those who have lost their way in the woods. We are also up against evil spirits and people who do no know God.
I have read many books by both Colleen Coble and Robin Caroll, and this one is very good!
I received this book through the Publisher Thomas Nelson on Net Galley, and was not required to give a positive review.
From the very beginning of this book you are hooked. The characters are so realistic that you can identify with them. Yes I am well above the age group this book was written for. Yet, it brought back memories of when I was Emily's age and I was accused of something I didn't do. My parents didn't believe me. It took a while for the truth to come out. In the mean time my trust in my parents and our relationship was badly damaged. I understood how Emily felt. I didn't see the ending coming. I thought I had it all figure out, but obviously I didn't. I am glad that I was given the opportunity to read and review this book. It is a great way to show kids how God can work in their lives without preaching to them. I will gladly put this on the shelves at school.
I received a copy to facilitate my review. The opinions expressed here are my own.
Exciting to the end! And now she’s teamed
The story is about Emily O’Reilly whose step-mom, Naomi, is part of a dog search and rescue team with Bree Nicholls. Emily loves the adventure and wants to get a puppy from Bree to start training and become a search and rescue responder herself. A great aspiration for a middle school girl. Only she becomes suspect in the theft of a $1,000 necklace...and the mystery begins. I’m very much older than a teenager, but I enjoyed the book myself.I want to get some teenage girls to read the book and I’ll even let the adults that read The Rock Harbor series know about this book, because I think they will enjoy it too.
