This is a book I couldn’t put down (and, bonus, there are quite a few books in the series). It was set in the 1930s, at an English boarding school. When someone is murdered, Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong’s Detective Society now has a real case to investigate. A puzzling mystery and intrigue made this book one of my favorites. The author keeps the book turning corners and adds suspense very effectively. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery with clever and diverse characters. Murder is Bad Manners by Robin Stevens Grades 4-6 Tags: historical fiction, mystery Reviewed by Chloe K. Aven has a great personality that will make you laugh. Dusti Bowling does a great job of show how it is to be a middle schooler. Don't forget Aven is disabled, so that puts a lot on her shoulders. Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus by Dusti Bowling Grades: 5th & 6th Tags: adventure, contemporary/realistic, friendship, mystery Reviewed by: Kate B. Six high schoolers are trapped on a private jet that is going drastically off course. Soon it is made clear that the plane has been hijacked. But by who? Suspicion throws the teens into a high intensity situation that no one is safe from. Will they be able to stop the plane and find out the hijacker before they go down? Skyjacked is perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying. It is just as fast-paced and entertaining, yet remains unique from Karen McMannus’ book because of the interesting setting. Murder mystery romance lovers alike will find this book as a new favorite. Skyjacked by Paul Griffin Grades: 6th, 7th, 8th Tags: Adventure, Contemporary, Realistic Fiction, Fast-Paced, Mystery, Romance Reviewed by: Charlotte D. Penelope Tredwell is the feisty thirteen-year-old orphan heiress of Britain’s bestselling magazine, the Penny Dreadful. Her scary stories, concealed under the pen name Montgomery Finch, are gripping the people. One day she receives a letter from the governor of the Bedlam madhouse requesting Finch’s help to investigate the asylum’s strange goings-on. Every night at precisely twelve minutes to midnight, the inmates all begin feverishly writing-incoherent ramblings that Penelope quickly realizes are frightening visions of the century to come. In the first book, Penelope is drawn into a thrilling mystery more terrifying than anything she could ever imagine! -Lulu G. |
