Reading the bones von Gina McMurchy-Barber

Crescent Beach is a small community in British Columbia that in prehistoric times was a First Nations summer village and burial site. McMurchy-Barber is herself an archaeologist who has studied remains and grave goods from a disturbed site in the area and has created this story for young people that beautifully explains the value of preservation of remains and respect for graves. Well written without any overdone clichés that often accompany YA stories. Includes a bibliography

Bone Deep: A Peggy Henderson Adventure von Gina McMurchy-Barber

Awesome book. So refreshing and reminiscent of Nancy Drew.

I enjoyed this book much more than I expected. It's not only a very unique story, focused on marine archaeology and a determined young lady.

I didn't like how she continued to lie instead of coming clean, but at the end that was resolved in a way that made sense. Peggy is a whirlwind, head strong, determined and a breath of fresh air. The writing is fast paced, striking a good balance between diving, ship wrecks, an old captain's log and present day life.

well worth the read and highly recommended.… (mehr)
