The main
character Pippa has just moved to the secluded Kira Island, and started at a
new school. Pippa is feeling left out and missing her old home and she is also
worried that her Mum’s plan to open a bookshop café isn’t going to work out.
That’s when Pippa’s new friends Meg, Charlie and Cici come to her aide. My
favourite part about this story was the way it was presented.
Everything about
this book felt summery and light. The plot was fairly predictable, but Belinda
Murrell still made the story feel completely new. The end was extremely
satisfying as well. The personality of each character is portrayed really well
too, which pulled me deeper into the story as the book continued.
Overall, I
loved reading The Beach Shack Café
and would recommend it to any girls in search of a great, tropical read.
