Cities scare Maggie McGilligan, so does change. But Welcome is Maggie's town, her own beloved small-town, USA. Maggie realizes that some change is inevitable now that her widowed mother, Mara, is about to marry Bartholomew Britt, a rugged carpenter from the Yukon. But when Mara and Bartholomew inform her that they might have to sell her home and refuge, Tara, the floor of Maggie's world begins to tilt. While remodeling Tara, they arrange for Maggie to stay with Bartholomew's sister, a well-known painter who lives-in Paris! Not only that, she's a nun! New friends and mysterious happenings unfold for Maggie as she catches the rhythm of life happening . . . a long way from Welcome.

Good Story - Not Dark,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Long Way from Welcome (Morning Gate Bks) (Mystery in Paris) (Paperback)
Easy to read crime-solver story, and stays interesting throughout. Except for kids sneaking out in the middle of the night, the main characters are good kids. The story deals with loneliness, but there isn't anything dark in this novel, like so many others aimed at the pre-teen audience. No drugs, suicide, gangs, foul language, etc. Though it won't be a literary classic, it's good enough for pleasure reading outside of school.
