- Quotes: (p. 30) ... you need a break you can come down here, in sight of the island, and use your imagination as a boat. You can do it, young Rob, I know. When I've gone, I'll think of you doing it.
- (p. 136) And then he was fully awake. He said, 'I had a bad dream, Mum, that was all.'
- (p. 145) But the happiness was brief. All wasn't well, and there couldn't be endless peace. Brightness was falling from the air and smoke hung heavily over Krakatoa. A scent of danger was in his nostrils.
- (p. 146) ... Krakatoa on the map! Rob! In your dream, did you ... did you go to the island?'
Rob stared back at her. For a moment it was in his mind to deny it. But he couldn't. 'Maybe I did,' he said.
- (p. 154) It was going to erupt. That was the cause of his terror. It was going to erupt any moment. He'd always known it would erupt; and now its time had come.

Kirkus Review:

- "When 16-year-old Braden Raynor’s father is arrested for a hit-and-run accident that leaves a police officer dead, every hidden secret is dragged into the light.
Braden’s father is known for his aggressive stance on his evangelical radio show, but what plays well on the airwaves can be horribly destructive at home. The anger and abuse that drove Braden’s older brother, Trey, away have driven Braden to be the perfect son. But in spite of his stellar talent on the pitcher’s mound, his exemplary performance in school, and his strong faith in God, Braden fears he will never be enough. When Braden is called to testify on behalf of the defense, he must decide if the truth is worth risking his entire world..."

Amazon's descriptions of Vanishing Act (book 1 of The Spy Who Wasn't There series) by Cora Taylor - Capn's suggestion:

- "When Jennifer, 13, stumbles upon a magic spell that renders her invisible, she enlists the help of her twin sister, Maggie, and best friend, Samuel, in a quest to solve the mystery surrounding their father's disappearance. The young detectives join the girls' grandmother on a cruise to Greece where the girls hope to find their father, a pilot who vanished two years earlier, and whom they believe is being held captive..."

Donna, do the kids see these invisible creatures both at home and during their trip/ in the jungle? Can you tell us more about the creatures?

Okay, I've moved your request to the "Query abandoned by poster" folder. Later, if you change your mind, just post a new comment and we can move this thread back to the "Unsolved" folder.

Great! Glad you found your book, Michelle. Thanks for the update.

You're welcome. I clicked the small "edit" link after your topic title. This only works on the "Desktop version" of the Website.

If you're viewing the "Mobile version" of the Website (not the App), scroll down the page and tap "Desktop version", then the "edit" link will appear. Sometimes it takes a few tries to switch over (depending on which page you're viewing).
