Punctuated with transcripts, letters, maps, black-and-white illustrations and more, The Swallowtail Legacy- Wreck at Ada' s Reef is a vibrant contemporary mystery with a classic feel exploring righting past wrongs, redefining family, and finding yourself. Twelve-year-old Lark Heron-Finch is steeling herself to spend the summer on Swallowtail Island off the shores of Lake Erie. It' s the first time that she and her sister will have seen the old house since their mom passed away. And while her stepfather and his boys are okay, the island' s always been full of happy memories--and now everything is different. When Nadine, a close family friend, tells Lark about a tragic boat accident that happened off the coast many years before, Lark' s enthralled with the story. Nadine' s working on a book about Dinah Purdy, Swallowtails' s oldest resident who had a connection to the crash, and she' s sure that the accident was not as it appeared. Impressed by Lark' s keen eye, she hires her as her research assistant for the summer. And then Lark discovers something amazing. Something that could change Dinah' s life. Something linked to the crash and even to her own family' s history with Swallowtail. But there are others on the island who would do anything to keep the truth buried in the watery depths of the past. A compelling and complex mystery with a classic feel, Wreck at Ada' s Reef is perfect for fans of The Parker Inheritance, Holes, The Westing Game, and anyone looking for a satisfying puzzle that stretches across decades.
