Awesome book. It's about a young girl, Madigan, who lost her mother when she was a baby and her father ran away. One day a stranger comes to town and he needs a place to stay. She thinks that he might be her dad by the way he acts around her and the way he looks like her. He's really a robber. Madigan finds out. She's very upset. He catches her spying on him when he is hiding stolen goods, and he grabs her. The best part of the book is her escape. A very exciting story that keeps you guessing at every page. I think this author writes amazing books. I really enjoy her mysteries.

This is not just a good book, it's an extremly memorable one. I read it 15 years ago, and I still remember how good it was! I remember being completely enthralled and on the edge of my seat throughout the book. Highly recommended!

Following the Mystery Man is a fantastic mystery thats keeps the reader involved. It tells the story about a girl named Madigan who grows up in life wothout a mother or a father. A handsome young man named Clint comes to town, and gives all the evidence of being Madigan's father. Madigan gets ideas about Clint and follows him around. She figures something out that she wishes she hadn't; for this clue changed both Madigan's and Clint's life forver. Can Madigan solve this mystery without ending up in the middle of it? This story tells a story about a girl who depritly needs a father, a mother, or even a a friend. Does she need one so badly that she jums to conclusions, gets her self tied up in the action, and even hurt. From this story, I found how much my father means to me. I understand now, after reading the book, how much my dad means to me. I will now cherish every moment that I spend with my dad; I now don't know if he will one day pack his bags and leave like Madigan's father did.

I first read this book when I was twelve years old, and now that I'm 15, I still enjoy it. There is a strong plot, interesting characters, and a few mysteries. This would be a good book for ages 11-14.

This book is the kind of book that keeps u all night. It about a guys called Clint and a girl called Madigan. madigan thinks Clint is her dad but later finds out he's a robber and he tries to kidnap her and the ending is the best

Madigan meets a charming stranger and becomes convinced he is her father who walked out on her and her now-dead mother many years ago. Now, living with her grandmother in a sleepy Maryland town, Madigan is determined to solve the mystery. Very exciting and suspenseful, and the issue of trust is explored here, too...

I have seen all the reviews written here. Maybe none of the adults have read this entire book, if they have I don't think they would let there childern age 9-12 read it. In this book the subject matter is not for kids. Unless you want your kids to think that the word TRAMP (which is what the grandmother calls the girl down the street because she ran off with the Mystery Man "excaped convict" and got pregnant) is the best way to explain this to a kid.I don't allow my 9 year old to use phrases such as"Tramp" and "What the HELL are you doing" at home, and I don't want her reading anything that she can't repeat, without being punished for it. The choice is yours. This book is in the Library of my daughters Elementary school, and I will do all that I can to have it removed.
