The Mystery of Smuggler's Cove by Paul Moxham
What I like about this book is that there is one brother and two sisters and they meet Will who knows a lot about the locale.
He shows them the caves and one day Joe goes by himself to investigate.  Lucky the girls help rescue him later in the day..
When they go with Will another day they go far into the caves-reminds me a bit about game of thrones as they have caves and tunnels under the castles.
This one they learn is where men meet and bring boxes in and will go during night hours to bring the goods to the boats to sell to others.
Very scary that they are only kids. Almost like a Hardy Boys mystery so am enjoying it.
Reminds me also of our local rum runner smugglers off the beach via the drain pipes that are big enough to walk through.
Brave kids and like what they find out and where...













WOLVES: Fun Facts and Amazing Photos of Animals in Nature (Amazing Animal Kingdom Book 8) by Emma Child
We took our grandson to Cougar Mountain in WA a few years back and they did have a section for the wolves. So cool seeing them from behind the fence and how they get along with one another and things like where they sleep and what they eat.
Starts with a table of contents and each chapter starts with a color photograph and then a few paragraphs about that particular subject.
Liked hearing about all the ones I was not familiar with. My favorite would be arctic white wolf as they'd blend right into the surroundings.
Fun facts are also included at the end. There are so many more books from this author on many other animals.
