Customer Reviews

Disaster at Parson's Point was a great book!

At the beginning, Tyler and Dana have a problem. There is a big oil spill in Badger Bay (an inlet of the Atlantic). Then Aunt Lissa and Uncle Joe try to have a boom sent to Parson's Point but it can't get there in time. Animals are drenched in oil, seals die, birds die, and fish die all because of the oil spill. Tyler, Dana, Uncle Joe, Aunt Lissa, Charlie and Carter Mote, and even mean old Mr. Mote (who hates project Neptune) team up to save the animals. Aunt Lissa and Uncle Joe rescue sea animals for a living (that's project Neptune) Mr. Mote is a commercial fisherman. So while they're getting animals to the rescue building, the oil spill is getting spread around in the bay and endangering the Atlantic wildlife. Finally, Mr. Mote gets the boom and brings it to the oil spill on his boat, the Bonnie Jean, and saves the day! After they were done cleaning gulls, seals and more cleaning, they rested in the 200 year old lighthouse that Aunt Lissa and Uncle Joe bought 13 years ago when they started project Neptune. THE END P.S. There was nothing I didn't like about this book!
