A teenage girl follows a mysterious boy to an island with a dark secret

Since she was born, Rachel's whole life has been planned out for her, from prep school to the Ivy League to a job as a doctor or lawyer. Only her grandfather understands that, at thirteen, she would rather just be a kid. Rachel is suffering through a boring yacht party when she catches the eye of a busboy who, like her, doesn't seem to belong. He convinces her to do something impulsive: She jumps off the boat to take a dip in the ocean. It's the biggest mistake she'll ever make.

Rachel nearly drowns, and wakes up on the beach of a mysterious island called Onieron. It's almost like a theatrical summer camp, with boys and girls in costumes, having fun. Though it's nice at first, soon Rachel just wants to go home. But leaving the island is something the Onieronians will never allow.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Peter Lerangis including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.

This is a great SF series, mainly for 'tweens with short attention spans. Each book has different characters and a different 'what if' concept, and each will provoke. Read them with your child and then have some interesting conversations.

The 'frame' of the 'Watchers' unifies them and makes them 'more than the sum of their parts' as the saying goes. However, I have to admit, even after reading all six, I did not quite understand the frame. So if you don't, don't worry about it. Probably your child will if you have those conversations that I recommend. ;)

They are just a bit intense. Besides the SF issues, there are bullies, adults with mental illness, avarice, etc. If your child is under age 10, read them first. But don't censor or shelter - just be ready for questions.

(I'm copying this review for all six books.) ( )
