Scuba Hijinks — Kathleen W. Forbes

"Scuba Hijinks" is the second book in the "Holly Brannigan Mystery" series. Set on the West Coast of Canada in the Lions Bay and Porteau Bay area, the story follows the adventures of teen sleuth Holly Brannigan and her friends, Bonnie, Paul, and Ted as they team up with Holly's father, Detective David Brannigan, to catch a gang of rogue scuba divers. Holly and her friends learn to scuba dive in order to pursue the criminals, and they bravely face challenges and dangers throughout the case. Thrust into a world of kidnapping and vandalism, the amateur detectives use their new skills and unlimited trust in each other to bring the gang to justice.

Kathleen Forbes was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She moved to Canada as a young person, and has lived or travelled in all ten provinces. Her Irish heritage is often reflected in her writing, as is her love for her adopted Canadian home. "Scuba Hijinks" is set in beautiful British Columbia, or "God's country" as she calls it, where she lived for twenty years. It was here that her daughter learned to scuba dive. Residing in Alberta now, Kathleen continues to write and create more adventures for Holly Brannigan.
