Pursuit Of Peace (Prune Parties With Lizzie)

Tommy, Will, and Izzie Sutherland are American kids who have lived most of their privileged lives in England and France. As they welcome in the New Year in Paris, their lives are turned upside down; they find themselves living with their Aunt Lizzie and being mysteriously pursued by diamond thieves. Thrill in the adventures of the Sutherland kids as they experience life in fashionable Paris, fast-paced Washington, D.C., pristine Moonlit Beach on the Gulf Coast of Florida, and the unconventional Florida Keys on an island with no name. Laugh as they grow together and come to love all the wacky, colorful characters that make up their new family. Meet fun Aunt Liz, who tries so hard to be domestic and perpetually fails; loud, vivacious Poppy with a “take charge” personality; Craig, a tough Army vet (with a soft spot) turned fisherman that comes to their rescue; and stable, good-natured Jack, their very own police detective. Oh, and don’t let me forget the creatures that find their way into their lives. No, I know it is Florida, but there are not any alligators of significance in this story; maybe in the next book. All these characters and creatures bring such energy and humor to the lives of Will, Tommy, and Izzie. Enjoy the interaction of all the players that seek the legendary Peace diamond from the two comical, but dedicated, French security guards; the ruthless French woman who calls the shots; the two French thugs that are all brawn; the sad-eyed Turkish adventurer who is the true owner of the diamond; and the pampered international art thief who happens to be color blind. And, what do cans of slime have to do with the disappearance of the diamond? Well . . . I don’t want to spoil the story. As the diamond thieves are on the brink of retrieving the diamond, all the characters are thrown together struggling to survive Hurricane Ana in the Florida Keys. Join the fun, lose yourself in the adventure, and read on . . .
