About A Sandy Grave: The anticipation of summer vacation can
put anyone in a great mood with the excitement of adventures to be
had--especially at the beach. But what is a group of friends to do when they
discover mysterious men poaching whale teeth at the beach?
What Reviewers Are Saying…
“The book is an enjoyable read and makes children aware of
poaching and illegalities associated with it. During times of dwindling marine
life and plants, it is important to save them. This book teaches children to
protect marine life and endangered animals.” ~ Reviewed
by Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite Five Star Review
“A Sandy Grave is a good fast read for the individual
reader or for parents to read to their younger children. It engages the reader
and opens up a dialogue between parents and children on the many different
issues in the book. Most of all, McDine shows that children can respect
authority without fearing it and parents and those in roles of responsibility
can respect the contribution that children can make to society.” ~ Reviewed by Rebecca’s Writing
