Kitty Hawk and the Hunt for Hemingway’sGhost is the second book in the Kitty
Hawk Detective Agency Series created by Iain Reading.
Kitty is so excited. Her dream to fly
around the world is about to come true, thanks to the generosity of her
sponsor, Charlie Lewis whom she met with his brothers during her expedition in
Alaska.
After a short vacation with her parents,
Kitty finally begins the first leg of her journey in her trusty and
newly-modified De Havilland Beaver seaplane and lands at Key West, Florida.
Just like ordinary tourists, Kitty has a look-around and even joins the tour at
Ernest Hemingway’s house.
After befriending the Johnny Depp
look-alike tour guide at Hemingway’s house, Kitty visits Fort Jefferson at the
Dry Tortugas National Park and accidentally comes across a suspicious activity
that involves mysterious glowing lights, ancient shipwrecks and sighting of the
great Ernest Hemingway himself and his boat the Pilar.
Just like the first book in the series, Kitty Hawk and the Curse of the Yukon Gold,
this is an exciting, suspenseful and very informative Young Adult Fiction
novel. But I find the pacing of this book faster and the scenes more
suspenseful. I also notice that Kitty got more matured and, if possible, more
daring and more stubborn. I think she also got less self-conscious and more
comfortable in her own skin and more confident in what she can do.
I simply love the lessons on ancient
Spanish treasures especially the meaning of the symbols and markings on the
silver bars. Apparently, this is another well-written, well researched and well
referenced book by the author.
Congratulations to Iain Reading (@IainReading)
