Serpent Tide

       Serpent Tide by K. L. Fogg is about a boy named Wesley. His mother, Imogene, is rich, and protective of Wesley. Wesley's favorite T.V. show is "The Snake Stalker," in which Jack Mackey, Wesley's hero, hunts dangerous reptiles in Australia. 

       When Wesley goes to a day long horse riding camp, which he was invited to by a vet named Maggie Scott, he finds out that the owners, including Maggie and her parents, Penny and Walter, know Jack Mackey. In fact, Jack is pretty much part of the family. His wife, Nicole, who was Maggie's twin sister, died in a storm, and their son was lost. 

       Soon after Wesley gets back from the camp, he starts to suspect that he is Jack's lost son. He runs away from Imogene and goes back to the horse ranch. Imogene comes looking for Wesley. 

       The rest of the book is about Wesley trying to stay with the Scotts on their ranch. This is a little difficult, as Imogene is persistent on keeping Wesley.

       I really enjoyed reading this book. I could barely stand putting the book down. There is a lot of suspense in this book. There are also funny parts. If you like suspense and adventure books, then this book is for you. A.
