Do you agree that Tina Dreffin's writing style in Bluewater Walkabout make the reader feel like they are experiencing the adventure alongside the author and her family?

Yes, the images she included, as well as her writing style, give the impression that you are experiencing them alongside her.

Of course, I felt that way in every aspect of the book. It felt like I was part of their adventure and a part of their family. I loved the lively adventures and everything about the book.

I think that her descriptions were extremely immersive and I loved her use of literary devices to show the world through her eyes in a new way. However, sometimes I felt that it was kind of overdone, and I found myself zoning out and being pulled from the book. I think she had the right idea, but the execution wasn’t all the way there.
