What an interesting start to a series! I cant wait to see where this goes in future installments. There is always time to read a good puzzle mystery and I can see many younger readers as well as older who want something fun to read picking this up once it's released. I look forward to giving this a reread then as I suspect my 3 star rating was just a result of my current mood reading not quite matching up with these vibes at the moment.

Calonita's book Isle of Ever is an exciting adventure with a puzzle to solve. Everly Benedict "Benny" is a character readers will cheer for as she attempts to solve a riddle left to her by her ancestor Evelyn. Can Benny trust the people she meets along the way? Will she find Evelyn's Island based on the clues she has? as Benny seeks answers, the reader will most surely think they have found the answers, but the plot is always one step ahead. This book is highly recommended for readers who seek a good riddle and adventure.

I really enjoy Jen’s writing. I am so happy that this is going to be a new series. I absolutely loved this book. It was fast-paced. I read it in a whole day because I wanted to know what was going to happen. The characters were likeable and charming. But I was wanting more from the story even after it ended. I cannot wait for the next one.

Thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Kids for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was delightful and I am so glad I stumbled upon it! The first of a brand new magical series, i cannot wait to read the sequels!

Absolutely incredible! Gave me strong inheritance game vibes mixed with a historical mystery and pirate lore. I loved the setting of greenport, Long Island. Benny and her friends adventures are only just beginning!
Jen calonita has another winning series on her hands!

I really enjoyed the start of this series, it had that element that I enjoy from Jen Calonita and was enjoying the concept overall. It had that charm that I was looking for and left me wanting to read more in this world and characters. It works as a opening chapter and was glad I got to read this and worked in with the children’s fiction genre.
