Title: A bit of everything!
Product review: The Wreckers is a simply marvelous book! It's about a teenage boy who is supposedly the only survivor of a wreck, and finds himself in a village of "wreckers." However, he soon finds that not everything is as it seems, and knowing who to trust and who to fear becomes vital for him as he learns more and more about the history and rituals of the village. I found that the hardest thing about reading this book was not the "nautical" terms, as many think, but not cheating by skipping to the end of the book! It is most certainly a mystery, but delightfully it also has the ever-present elements of action, adventure, mythology, and historical fiction. My only complaint is that it tends to either drag or go a bit quicker than it might. But I do, however, stress that this is not a reason to put down the book and forget about it...everything eventually comes beautifully together!
