When Harper’s dad saves two children (and a labradoodle) from a shark, he is dragged in to becoming the prime minister. However, one day he says he has to go to a conference and mysteriously disappears. Will Harper figure out where her dad disappeared to? How will she keep her father’s disappearance a secret from the world?
This book is a perfect children’s novel. It has many life lessons like facing your fears. This book had many amazing twists and turns throughout and kept me wanting to continue reading. The only thing I did not like was that it was a gradual build up and not straight into the action. It was definitely worth it in the end though. I rate this book 4/5 stars.
