Before MMGM on a Tuesday, though, I have to announce the winner of Tara Dairman's ALL FOUR STARS. That winner is...
Michael G-G!
Deer Creek is a small town whose only hope for survival is the success of their Founder's Day Festival. But the festival's main attraction, a time capsule that many people believe hold the town's treasure, has gone missing.
Randi Rhodes and her best friend, D.C., are Bruce Lee-inspired ninjas and local detectives determined to solve the case. Even if it means investigating in a haunted cabin and facing mean old Angus McCarthy, prime suspect.They have three days to find the treasure; the future of their whole town is at stake! Will these kids be able to save the day. (Goodreads)
Great book, characters, setting, plot. I really think is this one kids will like and relate too and one that boys and girls will read and enjoy. It may have taken, for me, a little too long to introduce all of the kids we see on the cover, but that didn't take away from overall story. And the setting? So well done. Rich and fun and I want to go there. And I want to meet the cast of characters who populate the town. Definitely one for mystery lovers.
If you'd like to win a copy of this book all you need to do leave a comment by midnight (MST) Sunday August 10. I'd also love to hear some of your favourite mysteries, recents or from when you were a kid. When I was a kid (around ten) it was all about Trixie Belden, Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie.
Sounds like a super fun read! Hmmm, I'm trying to think of what mysteries I read as a kid, but can't remember anything...lol. I do remember watching the Hardy Boys on tv though, oh, and Scooby Doo! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds fun. Please don't enter me, though. My TBR list is tottering. For some reason I have not been receiving notices of your posts. I guess I'd better re-subscribe.
ReplyDeleteChildren's librarian with summer reading program hangover would love to win this book to read on her vacation next week! I read the Hardy Boys mysteries when I was growing up because they were featured on Disney's Mickey Mouse Club. Now I recommend Mary Downing Hahn books and always have someone reading Nancy Drew....if you haven't met Enola Holmes or Sammy Keyes, those are 2 other mysteries to try! And for the older readers, Flavia DeLuce.
ReplyDeleteHey Steff, you won the book. I just need your mailing address! Thanks for sharing some of your book reads!
DeleteI was a late arrival for the Hardy Boys series as a kid. I was not much into reading until I met Frank and Joe Hardy. Loved the cover on this one and will be seeking it out. Sorry I was a bit late for the contest.
