Loading... The Wreckers (1998)by Iain Lawrence
None. Group J I read this when I was serving on a panel to evaluate juvenile novels for an elementary school. This is a fabulous thriller based on stories of coast-dwellers luring ships onto rocky coasts in order to kill the sailors and loot the cargo. A murder is committed and more are attempted, but anyone who watches TV would be comfortable with it. No problems. High interest adventure. Historical language a little rough as well. Robert H. - I liked this book a lot, but there were some parts where Lain Lawrence had too much detail. Also, since the book was in an older time there was older language too and sometimes I couldn't understand the word. The book has a great plot, and there is some suspence in it. One example was in the beginning when John, the main character, was being hunted down by a mob of people. A fast-paced adventure story, that still has a strong sense of atmosphere, lots of creepy characters, and a villain that was fairly hard to spot. When a ship is deliberately lured smashing onto rocks, and most of the crew killed, a boy escapes and has to escape the wreckers. no reviews | add a review
