What are the Mysteries of the Attic Trunk?
In the second book of the series, Sue and Guinness head to the magical islands of Hawaii. What are the legends of Hawaii trying to tell her? As she encounters many mystical adventures, she gets closer to finding out the truth. Unbeknownst to her, there are those around her who don't want the hidden secrets revealed.
In the third book of the series, Sue and Guinness are sent to New York. She learns more about who she is and what powers she may have. As she journeys in New York, her abilities are tested and a shocking family connection is discovered.
The kids liked learning about the different states and said that it is definitely a good read to learn about a place you plan to visit. They said it was fast paced and easy to get into the story with Sue.
Here is my adult/educator perspective: From the moment you start to read the book, the reader is drawn into the adventure with Sue and Guiness. The author has cleverly isolated the adventure yet maintained the connection to the real world with parents, aunties and other adults. The family connection to Grandma through the trunk reminds the reader of the importance of family, tradition and culture; even the aunty and uncle who seemed to be the antogonists had cultural contributions. As a Nataive Hawaiian I appreciated how the author was able to weave the magic into authentic culture respectfully.
