Sophie Washington: Mission: Costa Rica by Tonya Duncan Ellis

5.0

This was my first Sophie Washington book, and I’m eager to read more. I’d describe Sophie as an down to earth girl who’s about as real as one can be. The author does an excellent job of pulling you into the story, and building suspense along the way.
I particularly liked that Sophie and her friends got along so we’ll, and the realistic way she and her brother got along.
I have friends that have lived in Costa Rica, and know dentists that have done exactly what Sophie’s dad did, and all was accurate. I felt like I was listening to a family’s recount of their trip.
There’s a lot of adventure in this book, and I admit that three of those adventures had me flipping pages faster than a kid reading by flashlight underneath the covers.
I’ll recommend this book to my grandchildren and any others that like a well written children’s adventure story
