title: The Problem with Paradise
author:  Lesley Dahl 
description: Grade 6 Up&mdash;Fourteen-year-old Casey had been looking forward to spending the summer with Matt, her almost boyfriend. Now she will be spending it with her newly married dad, her stepmother, and her two brothers on a small tropical island where the turtles outnumber the people. Casey is not excited, but no one else seems to think it is a hardship. Things take a turn for the better when 16-year-old Josh comes to visit his uncle. Casey begins a relationship with him, but while hiding from a hurricane, she discovers that his family is involved in poaching the island's endangered turtles. This exciting coming-of-age story has danger, mystery, and romance. It moves quickly and will keep readers engaged.&mdash;<I>Sheilah Kosco, Bastrop Public Library, TX</I> <BR>Copyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
