Editorial Reviews

Review

This book reminded me a lot of Nancy Drew, but seemed better written than the Nancy Drew books being published these days. I was also reminded of The Boxcar Children, and  I think this series is a nice step up for readers who have aged out of those but still want a good, clean story without violence or foul language. Non-Christian readers may not relate to the religious themes presented here, but certainly the mystery is appealing to everyone.

(Katie Ahearn Secrets & Sharing Soda )

This is a great Christian mystery for pre-teen girls. Even though the girls do get into trouble on occasion, they do have to learn there are consequences to those decisions. It is very cleanly written, no shock value, but a wholesome mystery to keep young minds entertained. Even though I had not read any of the other books in this series I didn''t feel like I had missed anything. It did make me want to go back and catch up on the other characters that I met in this book.
