Product Description Foster teen, Logan Seagate, hadn?t bargained on making friends with a mysterious family when he?d stolen his foster brother's abseiling gear and swung done a cliff to a private beach that morning. All he?d wanted to do was forget about how angry he was at his father for awhile; but his plans are cast aside when he meets the adventurous 'Captain Happy'. After spending an exciting day with her and her 'cloak-and-dagger' secretive family, he learns there is a lot more to this mystery family than laughter, money and adrenalin thrills. As they all spend more time together, Logan notices some unusual things... the boat that watches them from sea, an old coin in a cave, rough-looking thugs taking an interest in them, and people he knows and trusts acting strangely. It turns out he is completely right to think trouble is just around the corner...Readers Say:"What a feel good, great read! It has a bit of everything; family, friendship, action, suspense, laugh-out-loud wit, fight scenes, racing cars and more.""This adventurous kid's story had me hooked from the very beginning? It was more exciting than some of the adult fiction I usually read." Review Filled with action, adventure, mystery and heart, The Trespasser?s Unexpected Adventure, The Mystery of the Shipwreck Pirates Gold has something for every young reader.And as the first in a series, it?s filled with characters kids can fall in love with and follow from book to book." - Shaye Wardrop, Kids Book Review.The Trespasser by Karen Cossey is a well-written modern day mystery adventure story. Logan is the thirteen-year-old foster child of Steve and Abby. He meets Meeka and her rich and famous parents when they stay at a nearby clifftop lodge. When the two families get to know each other, Meeka enjoys sampling "normal" life for a few days. But then Logan, his older foster brothers and sister, and Meeka stumble on a smuggling operation and get caught up in a dramatic and dangerous adventure that includes secret tunnels, rock falls, being abducted and threatened, escape, bike racing, and finding their way out of a fire. I particularly like children's books that do more than just tell a good, exciting story. The main characters in The Trespasser have all experienced some kind of trauma or difficulty in their young lives and I like the way they are drawn together in friendship and the way these friendships help them move forward in their lives. The past experiences of Cossey's characters reflect reality for many children then, and this does give the book an added element that is special and important and I really liked this. I loved Meeka's desire to be an ordinary child, away from the fame and riches, and her family's sense of fun and love for each other. Her life contrasts with the pasts of Logan and the other foster children, but there is a similarity in that they all need the security that comes with normality and family love. There is plenty of exciting mystery, adventure and escape from danger as well as the fun of rock climbing, bike racing and family camps on the beach. An enjoyable action and crime story that older children or younger teens are sure to enjoy. - Hilary Hawkes , Readers' Favorite  "The Trespasser?s Unexpected Adventure, The Mystery of the Shipwreck Pirates Gold is a wild ride packed with action, adventure and mystery.It?s a story about family and friendship, finding your place in the world and learning not to judge people before you get to know them.Logan doesn?t have the kind of family most kids have.
