If you could visit a national park this summer, which
park would you chose?
Scout Johnson is a ranger at Acadia National
Park. She finds old papers behind a
loose brick at a light house in the park.
The papers indicate that a previous lighthouse keeper purposely turned
off his light to cause the sinking of a ship that was carrying gold. The gold is now hidden around Acadia. Will Scout and her friends be able to find it
before the public finds out about the treasure?
My thoughts on this novel:
· This was a fun light story with mystery and romance. It was perfect reading during a stressful time!
· This was a contemporary clean read.
· Chase the Light is the second book in the National Parks Summers series. I have not read the first book and this book worked fine as a standalone novel.
· I really liked the character Wabanaki (Naki) Dana. He is a Native American from the Penobscot Tribe. He has the knowledge to decipher most of the clues and Scout finds herself attracted to him. Naki gave the story more depth.
· There is a love triangle of sorts as Chase Fletcher is also on the team. He has been on dates with Scout previously and is trying to use the news of the treasure to save his family’s newspaper.
· There are many other characters including Scout’s flamboyant southern mother, two teenagers that tend to mess things up, etc. They were all very entertaining.
· There are great plot twists in the story.
· I already wanted to visit Acadia National Park in Maine, and this book makes me want to visit even more. There are beautiful descriptions of the park in the novel.
· There were light faith elements in the novel. It was inspirational.
Overall, Chase the Light by Suzanne Woods Fisher is a
fun mystery, romance, contemporary adventure and a perfect summer read.
