[John Naylor · Rating 4 out of 5]

Given the title of "A Seaside Rescue", the story itself was quite surprising.

Another book I would describe as "twee". A good moral behind the story and character development better than some books five times the length manage. An interesting descriptive style and mild peril but nothing too scary. A book I would recommend to be read at bedtime either to a younger child or by a young reader.

This is the time of year when I rerecord the books the kids get me to reread them several times a year. This one is still good.

This is a really lovely story. The way things are described, you can really imagine being there on the beach. I would definately recommend this book for age 6 to 8 year olds.
