I haven't read the other series some of the characters appear in (I would've, if I'd known), but I don't think it affected my reading too much. I did feel like I missed a bit of context, but as the book went on, it didn't seem to matter.
I'm a bit obsessed with Mary Connealy's books, every time she comes out with a new one I rush to listen to the audiobook, especially when it features Barbara McCulloh's amazing narration.
This time we have *drum roll* A TREASURE HUNT, some runaway (pretend) orphans, and a a lovely romance (was there ever any doubt?).
Brody and Ellie's first meeting was so iconic, it had me giggling. I gotta say that I wasn't really sure about him at first, but he grew on me. I loved him and Ellie together so much.
Most of the book is about the treasure hunt itself and searching for the boys, so it's as adventure filled as you can imagine. Lock and Thayne are probably my favourite characters, their shenanigans were so fun to follow, as was their bond with Brody.
Like any other Connealy book, there's lots of humour, and a good amount of faith content included. All in all, an excellent start to a new series, I can't wait for book two.
