This is the second Echo Falls Mystery, and it is just as much fun as the first, which was a best-seller for middle school readers. I particularly like the comfortable blend of realistic family dynamics and a classic young detective character. I hope that there are more mysteries to follow.
Peter Abrahams' website lets me know that I missed the second book in the series. Behind the Curtain preceded this third title, so I must look to adding that one to the library collection.
The website also tells me that the author will be a the Brattleboro book festival on October 2-4.
Vermont is fortunate to have that book festival as well as a Burlington weekend. There is nothing quite like listening to authors talk about their writing, revealing the crossroads of their diverse lives and the literary reflections of them. If you can't make it to a festival, keep an eye on the local bookstores' calendars for interesting author events.
