The Mystery of the Canary Islands
9781963511611
“Living without adventures is dangerous... you can die of boredom,” announces twelve-year-old Emma.
Thanks to her parents' lifestyle, she’s never bored. They travel constantly and move from one country to another.
Soon after moving to the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Emma notices an infinity sign accompanied by a puzzling inscription scribbled in Spanish on a fence near her home. Following the cryptic and somewhat magical clues that seem to mysteriously drop into her lap, Emma finds herself on a peculiar rescue mission: to locate the seven missing figurines of dogs, one for each of the seven Canary Islands, and return them to their rightful place.
With her new friend Jake and Mars, her French bulldog, Emma goes in search of answers–solving riddles and hopping from one dangerous adventure to another, afraid that she’ll fail her mission and the mystery of the Canary Islands will remain hidden forever.
Does Emma have what it takes to connect the dots? And is it really the dogs she is actually saving?
