The Summer of Moonlight Secrets by Danette Haworth

Haworth, Danette, The Summer of Moonlight Secrets, 273 pgs. Walker Books for Young Readers, 2010. Content - G

Allie Jo lives in an antebellum Florida hotel during the summer of 1988. Chase is visiting for a few weeks with his father. They come together to solve the mystery of Tara, the teenager hiding in a hotel closet. It makes for a summer they will never forget. 

Cute story. I liked the two main characters and how they interacted with each other and their respective families. The mystery of Tara was fun to discover. There was a hint of romance, but it was mild and well done. EL (5-6) - ADVISABLE. Rebekah, youth services librarian.
