My Thoughts:

I decided to check out this book since I have a tween daughter who loves camp and enjoys mysteries. However, she is not much of a reader.  I am hoping the story will entice her to want to read this book regardless of her enjoyment of reading. I read the first chapter to her, just to see if she would like it; she did! We read together since she has some dyslexic struggles and a few of the words seemed a little above her reading skills. We read a little every day, and she was always begging me to keep on going...

Personally, I loved reading Nancy Drew as I was growing up, and this book kind reminds me of her mysteries. Of course, Nancy Drew was a little older than the girls in this book, who are just tweens - the oldest being fourteen. Nonetheless, these girls have no trouble sniffing out a mystery.

The first book in this 4-book combo starts out with the main character, Elizabeth, meeting several other girls at camp. They have a mystery on their hands and they become fast friends as they work together to solve it. It will draw you in from chapter one! As you read the other books in this series, you see that even though they are no longer at camp, the girls continue to be friends and consult with each other on mysterious matters that come up. The book is fun for young girls, contains a thread of faith, friendship, and more. I liked how Scripture was woven throughout, with enough food for thought to be an asset but not really overwhelming.

I do believe girls who enjoy mystery and love to read will like this series. I think it promotes great faith values and friendships. My daughter really enjoyed it, and was so excited about it, she was telling her friends they needed to read it too!

I received a copy of this book from Barbour. I was not asked to write a positive review and all opinions are my own.
