My Review
Kitty Hawk and the Hunt for Hemingway’s Ghost is the second book in Kitty’s adventure series. The first book, Kitty Hawk and The Curse of the Yukon Gold, introduces us to Kitty Hawk. She is an older teen who is setting out on an adventure to Alaska in her plane to research whales.
In this book, Kitty is setting off on a trip around the world! She stops in Key West and her next adventure begins! While in Key West, she explores the town and meets some interesting characters. Her trip in the Keys takes her to the Dry Tortugas where the mystery begins. Kitty isn’t sure who she can trust through this mystery involving ship wrecks and lost treasures…not to mention Ernest Hemingway! But as she moves through this exciting trip, she makes some interesting discoveries. She also makes some great friends who will hopefully make an appearance in the following stories.
As in the first book, this book is filled with a lot of history which you may or may not find interesting. I like history, so the facts added to the story. If you’ve got a younger reader, they might get bogged down by it. I really enjoyed this story and am looking forward to reading the rest of Kitty’s stories and about her trip around the world!
