What a great book to read out loud to your kids. ( )

A boy and his family and friends, along with some visitors at his father's inn, set out to solve the mystery of a certain cove on the island of Capri, where they live.
A neat little story, even neater for being about an actual cove and it's beautiful blue cave. ( )

Newbery Honor Book Can three strangers, each on a separate quest, solve the mystery of the island?

Michele sees the boat with the red sails and finds a way to lead the passengers to stay at his parents’ inn. The three men on this boat will forever change Capri. There is a mystery. There is action. There is adventure. There is the exotic atmosphere of faraway Capri. ( )

I thoroughly enjoyed Red Sails to Capri. The village of Capri has agreed not to even mention a mysterious cove, until three visitors convince a young teenager and his family to discover the truth. Some of the subtle humor will be missed on a young child who nonetheless enjoys the story. With strong characterization, good humor, and an exciting plot with some depth, it will likely grow with a child.
