She is the author of The Lost Island of Tamarind, Secrets of Tamarind, and The Great Wave of Tamarind.
The Great Wave of Tamarind Sensory descriptions of imaginary flora,
fantastic fauna, and vivid landscapes plus an atmosphere charged
with impending danger add to Tamarind's allure. ... This exciting,
fast-paced, satisfying finale to the Tamarind trilogy does not
disappoint. --Kirkus Reviews In Aguiar's satisfying finale to her
Tamarind trilogy, Penny returns to the magical island seven years
after Secrets of Tamarind (2011). . . . This volume works equally
well as a standalone and a series conclusion (longtime fans will
rejoice at Helix's return). With heartfelt emotion, an exotic
setting, and a mix of wilderness survival and fantasy quest, this
has something for everyone. --Booklist
Secrets of Tamarind This is a great adventure that sets the stage
for a third book in the series." --School Library Journal In his
quest to save everyone, Simon discovers that he is growing up and
that although adventure is sweet, family means more. ... Rich
descriptions and quirky characters will captivate fantasy genre
fans. --Dawna Lisa Buchanan, Children's Literature The Lost Island
of Tamarind: All signs point to a sequel--one that readers won't
want to miss. --Publishers Weekly, starred review Readers will be
drawn into this dangerous, magical world where anything is possible
and nothing can be fully explained. --School Library Journal "The
book's magic . . . lies in Aguiar's precise, often lyrical
descriptions. A native and resident of Bermuda, she writes with
authority about daily life in the tropics....Aguiar uses her knack
for realistic details equally well in the magical parts. . . . The
Lost Island of Tamarind has a gentle spirit, tempering its dangers
with warmth." --The New York Times Book Review
