The Bailey family has moved to Fort Patrick because their
military mom has taken a new assignment.
Integrating to their new school is not going well – Tom has come into
the sights of the school bully and Charlotte has fallen in with the popular
girls, who seem to epitome the idea of mean girls, pitting Charlotte against
Tom. Meanwhile, Rosie, their adopted
sister, is not even trying to make friends, but she has found a mystery about
dogs disappearing on base.
Each child’s problem individually is actually kind of
interesting, but the mystery is lackluster – I can kind of understand not
wanting it to take over as something scary, but it kind of became the point of
the book. I would have rather had a book highlighting life on a military base for a family, without the pseudo mystery.
