Review: 
I have had this book on my Kindle for a little while and I am trying to get better about reading at least one very so often to push through them all, I feel so bad, as I have agreed to review them and have fallen off the scheduled quite a few times this year... anywho...

Whitehaven Beach is a middle grade genre book about a brother and sister that are spies and mystery solvers for the Environmental Protection agency. In this installment they are off to Whitehaven Beach to foil the plans of someone stealing the very precious sand and threatening to ruin the island by doing so.

The story was more like a novella, being only about 100 pages and the plot wrapped itself up nicely in the end. I liked the idea of some kids being tasked with saving the planet one mystery at a time but there were a few moments that brought in other adventures they had been on, however it seems like this is the first book in the series (I may be wrong). I had fun reading the book and it flew by. I think if you are a younger reader looking for an over the top spy adventure this would be a fun read.
