The Fiji Flood

The Fiji Flood
By Irene Schultz
Ages- 7-11

The Woodland family is taking a family vacation to Fiji. They are excited to swim in the colorful island and snorkel. When they arrive, a huge storm has caused flooding and mud slides. The vacation is full of unplanned adventures as they travel across the island to the hotel and have to return early to the airport. The family takes disappointing situations and makes it exciting and fun

This is a great chapter book for younger readers who enjoy adventures and mystery. I enjoyed this book because the author includes helpful hints of the pronunciation, in a unique way, for difficult words that allows the reader to not feel dumb. I love the messages in this book. The author allows the characters to practice having a good attitude during tough situations. The Woodland family has many adventures in other books which makes a great series to enjoy reading.
