Containing some nice illustrations by Stephanie Perkins, and interesting historical information, I recommend The Mystery of the Haunted Opera House as an uplifting and fun read. This is third book in the B. The first two are also recommended reads. It follows two ambitious and adventurous 14 year old boys from small town Vermont who become local celebrities when they put their card carrying detective skills to work to solve the mystery of the Silver Statue Book 1.
Their reputation preceding them, the proprietors of B and J Securities are approached by their friend Patti who believes an ancient family legacy is worthy of pursuit. History tells them that Patti's great grandfather once owned the Brick Kingdom, the local name for a formerly thriving, currently abandoned industrial park along the lake. Unfortunately, great grandfather Lawrence died without a will.
His wife was declared incompetent, and a greedy conniving uncle ran the mill into bankruptcy. Patti presents the boys with her great grandfather's recently discovered diary which reveals cryptic clues about a cleverly hidden box containing her family's riches.
The exciting adventure builds, as the three, accompanied by Patti's best friend Sandy, decipher information in a dangerous cat and mouse exploration of the old mill. They encounter puzzles, symbols, tunnels, trick entrances, and trapdoors, the danger enhanced by the pursuit by a sinister cousin bent on claiming the treasure as his own. Imagine the Indiana Jones theme song, and off you go! Subtly inspiring, it contains positive messages and represents fun, goodness, and a refreshing innocence. Focusing on heroes, gaining confidence, overcoming adversity, while being clearly non-violent, it would easily meet parental approval.
The Mystery of the Brick Kingdom is fast paced, consistent and highly enjoyable.
The beginning, however, contains slightly too much repetition and recapping of the Silver Statue story. Also, there is a minor typo on page It's definitely worth the read. Kudos to the artist. Radiant Hen Publishing 96 pages Available at www. Perkins Jr is an engaging, enjoyable read. Directed towards a youth audience, it involves two eighth grade friends who live in an idyllic Norman Rockwell community.
