Story (plot): A young girl called Lucy comes to Barbados for her holidays. Her father is a photographer, he comes here for his work. One day, Lucy was walking on the beach picking up some shells. Suddenly, she saw some clothes on the beach but it was Jeremy… They talked about him because he didn’t remember who he was. Lucy wanted to help him so they went to the city to see somebody or something that Jeremy knew. They saw a restaurant and Jeremy stopped in front of Jack’s restaurant: “I think, I’m beginning to remember something.” So they walked through the city and found some clues. Finally, they found the boat where Jeremy lived. They came in and met Jeremy’s uncle, Jack. Jack was worried because Jeremy had disappeared. Suddenly, Jeremy remembered everything. He remembered that someone was on the yacht and his uncle had a gun to his forehead. Jeremy wanted to leave the yacht but another man ran after him. The man threw Jeremy into the sea. After he met Lucy… Jeremy remembered that on the computer was written Operation Blue Lagoon with some pictures of snakes. Lucy and Jeremy looked for some clues to tell them to the police. They met some bad people who were looking for Jeremy. They took refuge in Lucy’s villa. The next day, they found some clues, a computer and a strange woman. They went to the police station but nobody believed them except one policeman. He followed Lucy and Jeremy and asked some questions but when they came back to the yacht, it was on fire. Jeremy was completely disappointed because it was the last place Jeremy could call home. But fortunately, Jeremy copied the files onto a CD. They came back to the police station and gave them the CD. Finally, no animals died in the fire, Jack had disappeared. Jeremy wanted to live with a family on the island. When Lucy’s parents have found a place in a school in London for Jeremy, he will come to live with Lucy. Every summer, Lucy goes to Barbados. Now her life is completely different.
Opinion: I like the book very much because it’s an adventure book and I love this very much. It’s a good book because there are exercises. We can’t read the end if we don’t do the exercises. It’s a good opportunity to practice and to improve our language and understand the story. It was very easy to read it. I advise my friends to read this one but I must give it to them. Can I lend it to them?

Book Report
I was very interested in this book because it's a nice story with main characters who are teenagers. So it brings us near the story.
There is also a lot of suspense with a large intrigue. Otherwise, I had to do exercises to read the end of the story and I find that good. I also find that the lessons are important and necessary for the students who don't understand or who have problems with the English language.
To conclude, I like this series of books very much, because there is help for the vocabulary that I don't know.
