Dead Man's Cove by Lauren St. John

Oh boy, I really did not enjoy this. I felt like nothing happened until page 144/201, and what did happen I didn’t believe at all. Why would the gang just....leave the children?
I also was troubled by the descriptions of the Mukhtars as stereotypes, and why was Atari’s constantly referred to as the Asian boy? There was no reference to any of the other characters as white?
I liked the illustrations a lot and there are really nice descriptions of St Ives, but that was about it for me. This could definitely just be a taste thing, my mum loved it and I could see a child reader getting into it.
