In the beginning , this book was boring but when they heard about the Florida Keys it started to get interesting. Their dad was called in for a dream come true to help the people catch the bad guys that are dumping toxic waste into the ocean . They way the two sets of twins are like me is they always want something to do and also like to go on fun trips. So when they hear about the Florida Keys they were ecstatic . That all changes when Aunt Honey comes to tell them that instead of their fun home teacher they will be going to military school . They try to get their old fun teacher to come but she can not come because she got a teaching job at a school.The twins have 48 hours when they arrive in the Florida Keys. Their dad gives them the good news they would not be sleeping at the military school but still they do not like the school . Will they have to go to miltary school every week day or will the fun teacher that goes on field trips come and save them ?

After they learned about this they saw Robbie a boy that hurt his hands while playing with fire . Robbie just got his cast off but what scared andgot them interested was his hands were purple . So they followed Robbie and played a trick and figured out that his hand were not just purple but also were crinkled . So when they got home they started up looking at the dissease and if you get it what it looks like if you have it . Robbie looks just like the picture . Did Robbie have this disease or is it really burned himself ?

Shadows in the Water

The problems started when Robbie wanted to take a baby turtle back home . July and Liberty did not like this idea the sea turtle would die . Robbie descided to let it go in the water . Right when they left people were coming in and Robbie starting to freak out . July and Liberty thought that these must be the guys dropping the toxic waste . They pushed him to tell them who they were but he did not answer . The next day he was gone and everybody was talking about it .

Shadows in the Water

That day was hard cause people keeps saying I wish you got to know Robbie better .They were not focusing on their school work . Who could blame them if it were me I would be ashamed by not telling anybody about knowing him . The most interesting part of this book is when the boat shark bite came and was loading the boat . The turtle hatching season is over but they do go back to the island after every lesson to see is Shark Bite . While they were their they saw the six dolphins and also heard them . They thought the were speaking to them so they jumped in with them . These dolphins started talking to them . They were talking about about how one of the dolphins named Streak how he got dull when scientist had him . They talked about their moon goddess and how she is terrible sick and she might be beached . The dolphins say they need their help saving the moon goddess . Will the twins help the dolphins or will they just leave and not help?

Shadows in the Water

They sayed yes !!!! They did what I would do if I got the chance to hear and help dolphins . The place is about 8 to 10 miles away and they will be riding on the dolphins back . The dolphins told them that toxic criminals were behind mangrooves at Starfish Key . I did that once at sea world if was so much fun ! They found the moon goddess and tried to help the dolphin be she was so heavy . They finnaly got the moon spirt in the water and the dolphins and the twins swam as one . When they got home they descided that they have to tell their dad about the crimnals but then they descided to go and collect evidence . This is were I dont like their plan I think they should just tell their dad so he can deal with it . Will there plan work ? Is that really the place where the bad guys are? Will they get cuaght ? Will their be a happy ending or a sad ending ?

Shadows in the Water

The men started to drink and get drunk . The kids just waited to attack and then finnaly they attacked . The kids got away and they did a great thing called stealing the peoples keys . Again they did something I would do !1They called the police and the kids got a thank you from the police . The kids even got medals from the president and the governor . They were also in tv and in the newspaper and with of course with Robbie . This ending was a happy great ending that I loved !!!
