Greetings from Somewhere: The Mystery of the Gold Coin by Harper Paris - OPTIONAL

Paris, Harper  Greetings from Somewhere: The Mystery of the Gold Coin, 118 pgs.  Illustrated by Marcos Calo  $15.99  Little Simon, 2014.  Content: G.    

This book is about some kids who find out that there mom got a new job, so they are going to travel the globe.  They get farewell gifts and the boy, Ethan, losses his farewell gift the very day they’re about to leave. So they go all around town to try to find it, then they finally find it in a fountain. And they get home in time to leave.  Their mom and dad did not know that they had been gone, only there grandpa knew.  

I felt like I wanted to know more, the story seemed short with the main characters leaving town right when the story started to get good. The mystery didn’t last long, and they only went to a few places. I liked the characters names and the pictures were really good.  

EL-OPTIONAL.  Reviewer: Isabelle, age 10.
