How'd you like a FREE mystery book that everyone in the family will appreciate? If you loved The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew as a kid like I did, you'll appreciate Paul Moxham's Mystery Kids series. The Mystery of Claw Mountain is FREE and it's a great way to get into the series.
Joe Mitchell along with his two
sisters Amy and Sarah and his friend Will go on vacation to visit Grandma and
Grandpa Mitchell. They keep themselves busy sledding, ice skating and camping
out in an unused hut, but they love a good mystery. When they hear an
intriguing story about how Claw Mountain got its name, they know they’ve got a
case on their hands. When they stumble on an old abandoned mine they decide to
go inside, but soon find themselves in some very real danger.
I loved this story! Mr. Moxham
includes all the necessary elements to keep readers interested. Mystery,
suspense, action and several sticky situations abound for the Mystery Kids in
this book. I especially love the fact that the author has the children working
together as a team to figure things out. The situations aren’t just happening
to the kids, they’re active participants in the plot. Through character
dialogue and kid-friendly action, readers can get a real sense of how well the
children manage to work their way through any number of predicaments. That
definitely makes these characters excellent role models for children.
The Mystery of Claw Mountain is
extremely reminiscent of The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, which I absolutely
loved as a kid. I would highly recommend this book (and the series) to readers
of any age who want to lose themselves in a good old-fashioned mystery.
