Summary: 

At the conclusion of the second book in the Warren the 13th series, The Warren Hotel had transformed into a giant ship, and set sail for the open seas! When Warren 3 opens, Warren is adjusting to the demands of running a floating hotel and is planning his 13th birthday party when disaster strikes--the hotel is shipwrecked on a strange island. To make things worse, his octopus-like friend Sketchy is kidnapped by a traveling circus! Warren and his friends must solve a series of riddles to find the next location of the circus and rescue their friend before it's too late. Along the way, they meet a new cast of characters, including some elderly pirates, a sea witch, a talking clam, and a giant sea monster. As Warren pursues Sketchy's kidnappers, he will learn the truth of his friend's mysterious origins--as well as one final secret of the Warren Hotel.

My Thoughts:

I thoroughly enjoyed the third book in this fantastic series. Warren the 13th has a good heart. He loves his friends and his family. He tries his best. And he gives everyone and I mean everyone the benefit of the doubt! What a great example. I've really enjoyed his growth and the growth of everyone in his hotel.

This book they're out for a pirate adventure! We love pirates and enjoyed all the treasure hunts and pirate-related themes throughout the story. This one has some fun puzzles to try and solve along with Warren and his crew.

The story ends on a bittersweet note and it made G tear up. But it all ends good and he can't wait/hopes for another chapter in Warren the 13th's life and his traveling hotel!

The illustrations are as amazing as ever! Lots of fun drawings to help bring the story alive.

My Son's Thoughts: (lightly edited)

Okay, to start I think this book was really good. I think all the parts of this book were interesting cause usually at the beginning of books it's not as interesting. Every single chapter of this book was just as interesting as the last.

Now down to the specifics. I enjoyed the part where they start saving sketchy and I also enjoy the end part where even when Rustyboots and his granddaughter are kinda evil, Warren still thinks they're worth saving.

If there is anything that I don't like as much, it would be at the end... because it made me sad but that is meant to happen. So honestly I think it's amazing that [the author] did that. Overall, I enjoyed this book and I hope [the author] makes a fourth book.

P.S. I would really a fourth book and maybe a fifth!

*We received this book from the publisher Quirk Books in exchange for an honest review. They sent the book with a beautiful poster of one of the illustrations in the book and some fun Warren the 13th tattoos.
