5-Stars Review
It is a novella written for younger audience. Reed and Jonah are friends and this story gives an insight about their family lives and their friendship. The story starts when they found a bone buried in sand. They started investigation about it, asking questions. This led them to an old vet who revealed an incredible tale about the remains they have found. From all this Reed leans a lot about his own family and it makes him appreciate people in his life even more.
It is prequel to Two blue lines but can be read as standalone short story. It is well-written and quite entertaining story.
