BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Grady had no idea that he was related to crazy Eudora Klinch, the old lady who walked around their town with a shovel, constantly mumbling to herself. Eudora has left Grady a tapestry that supposedly leads to a treasure that was forgotten long ago. Grady thinks nothing of it until someone tries to break into his house. And when someone dies because of the tapestry, Grady and his two best friends decide they must solve this mystery once and for all. Grady and his father are doing so poorly, that they are about to lose their home and will be forced to move out of town; maybe this treasure will save them.
Solid addition to a mystery collection. Grady is pretty clever and he and his friends are resilient, imaginative, and persistent. While the slasher type murder mystery that most kids are drawn too, kids who like kids solving less deadly mysteries will enjoy this.
Grady is white, one of his best friends has red hair, and the other is Black; however, ethnicity doesn’t play any part in the book.
