Mortimer known as Minty is ten during an eventful summer. She and her best
friend Paz both love roller derby and plan to do their team tricks in the
Fourth of July parade. That is,
until things start to change.
Minty is seeing flashes in
the woods in her neighborhood and things are disappearing. She takes on the mystery and becomes involved in the mystery itself. Minty comes upon a tree that reveals secrets and mysteries that she tries to
solve on top of the first
mystery. Minty’s friend, Paz, is growing up too fast for
Minty and she is left wondering if
she will have any friends left at the end of summer. This fun juvenile mystery
is recommended for children ages, 8-11 for content and vocabulary. The plot keeps you wanting to read more and has some intriguing twists and turns. An thoroughly enjoyable read for
children of this age range.
