The author of Below the Surface is Tim Shoemaker. But he should change his name to Tim Thrillmaker because he has certainly created a book full of thrills.
This book for kids is one of the most exciting I’ve ever read. It involves a group of friends, three boys and a girl, who enjoy boating, and a mystery.
Below the Surface is not for the faint of heart because it contains some very scary situations, but that’s what an adventure book should do.
Chapters are told from the points of view of different characters, but their personalities are well portrayed so it’s clear who is telling that part of the story - except when it’s the villian.
And it’s the third in a series (I haven’t read the other two - yet) but stands alone.
Anyone who enjoys adventure and excitement will love this book.
