My Review
4.5 Stars
From the series Pirates of New Earth and my favorite, most recent volume, North Country comes a middle grade perfect to read with your kids while you read the adult series.
This is a great short, easy-to-read Middle Grade adventure of two brothers (twins) who are growing up with their own personalities and preferences. When they are 10 years old, turning eleven, they start to notice that they have become quite distant from one another, and bullies at school don't help. But one event makes them go on an adventure together.
A treasure hunt. Highlights that made me enjoy this story.
The end is great, how it all comes together, the revelations and confessions, being honest with each other, how their older sister is awesome, the adults are the same characters from the author's adult sci-fi series, so to those who already read those novels, it's great to reconnect with some characters. The fast pacing and adventure of treasure hunting. It's set in a dystopian future. Themed treasure and pirates.

From the publisher:
"Two brothers, a hidden secret, and an adventure of a lifetime.
On the pirate island of Bosch, almost eleven-year-old twins Kik and Mac are facing a storm of changes. With a father from Edo and a Bosch mother, the brothers navigate the challenges of identity, friendship, and family in their own unique ways.
Mac, daring and mischievous, finds himself in a whirlwind of trouble as he strives to impress new friends. Meanwhile, Kik, quiet and observant, grapples with his heritage and a heartfelt secret he's not ready to share.
When a ball thrown in anger fractures a family heirloom, a hidden piece of a pirate treasure map emerges, setting them on a quest that will shake up their relationship and reshape their understanding of family.
