THE PERILS OF PEPPERMINTS is actually the sequel to a book I read a few years back called, PEPPERMINTS IN THE PARLOR, that kept me guessing about the fate of Emily Luccock, a young orphan girl in the Victorian Era. The author's way with words and ability to build a fantastic mystery story tied both books together beautifully. THE PERILS OF PEPPERMINTS picks up right where the first book left off. The characters were always compelling, and nothing about the book was ever predictable -- including the surprise ending.

THE PERILS OF PEPPERMINTS is a perfect--and long awaited--sequel to Barbara Wallace's PEPPERMINTS IN THE PARLOR. It was worth the wait. Ms. Wallace is a delight, as usual. I loved the book, as did my grandchildren.

I am a 5th grade teacher. In the fall, I read Peppermints in the Parlor to my class. They loved it so now we are reading the sequel

After reading Peppermints in the Parlor I eagerly began The Perils of Peppermints. What a delight! Is it possible that the second was better than the first? Just maybe -- both books are terrific!

This book would have been wonderful if I had read it without reading the first book, but it was pretty much peppermints in the parlor written again with a different title. I loved Peppermints in the Parlor and it is one of my favorite books from elementary school but the sequel just doesn't cut it.
