"An interesting story, Dragons in the Waters is a muddled reading experience. It is written in a scattered, far less cohesive way than the Wrinkle In Time series, and the same themes were covered in A Swiftly Tilting Planet."
"Polly O'Keefe is now 14 and becomes involved with a murder mystery aboard a ship sailing to Venezuela. I enjoyed the characters of Simon & Leonis Phair and the Quiztano indians. Story indirectly ties with some of The Swiftly Tilting Planet."
"This was a re-read for me. I did not remember a lot from the first time (20 years ago) though so there was still some intrigue and surprises. Simon Renier is taking a freighter from Charleston to Venezuela with a long lost cousin to donate a family heirloom to a Venezuelan museum. As is typical with the other books in the O'Keefe family series, nearly nothing goes as expected, and Simon's trip ends up being far more of an adventure than he had planned on.
This is a good book and can be enjoyed even if you have not read any of the other books in the series."
