While on the way to new land, the kids traverse the hardships of living on the ocean. They encounter dangerous creatures, including a serial killer, having to grow up quickly.
Sol takes on even more of a leadership role in this book, now that the children's parents won't be meeting them on the island. I loved reading thoughts from each character, and the skepticism from Destin, especially. Seeing that not everyone agrees with one another makes this book more realistic and entertaining, creating problems and issues to resolve.
The arc with the serial killer on board was super interesting and added a lot of tension. It led to a heart-wrenching moment that had me almost in tears because it was well done. I enjoyed every moment of this, and can't wait for the next.
