This a murder-mystery set on the picturesque beaches of Martha’s Vineyard bursting with suspense and twists at every page turn. BLOOD IN THE WATER centers on twelve-year-old Kalayni, a spunky girl from Brooklyn, who is sent to Martha’s Vineyard to stay with an affluent Black couple and their granddaughters after what she believes is her father’s wrongful incarceration. Soon after arriving, a shocking death of a local teen rocks the island…did he drown, was it a vicious shark attack, or worse, murder? As Kalayni dives further into the investigation, she begins to learn more about the Black history of the island while slowly unpacking the deep-rooted secrets that threaten the dynamics of the island and Kalayni’s life forever. Inspired by her connection and love for Martha’s Vineyard, Tiffany D. Jackson has crafted a loveable and authentic character in Kalayni who tweens will relate to through her emotional relationship with her imprisoned father, her struggles to fit in, and her dedication to helping those around her. Full of heart, laughs, and a mystery that will have you guessing to the very end, Tiffany D. Jackson has done it again, created an unputdownable story for middle readers. With each heart-pounding turn, BLOOD IN THE WATER is set to be a summer blockbuster hit!
