About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

Red Blazer Girls



The Red Blazer Girls by Michael D. Beil

It all began with The Scream. And ended with ... well, if we told you that it wouldn't be a mystery. But in between The Scream and The Very Surprising Ending, three friends find themselves on a scavenger hunt set up for a girl they've never met, in search of a legendary ring reputed to grant wishes. Are these sleuths in school uniforms modern-day equivalents of Nancy, Harriet and Scooby? Not really, they're just three nice girls who decide to help out a weird lady, end up hiding under tables, tackling word puzzles and geometry equations, and searching moldy storage rooms for "the stuff that dreams are made of." Oh, and there's a boy, who complicates things. As boys often do.

Intrigued? The Red Blazer Girls offers a fun, twisty adventure for those who love mystery, math( c'mon, admit it) and a modest measure of mayhem. (from the back cover).

If you enjoy, Nancy Drew, The Calder Game, The Wright Three, Chasing Vermeer - this will probably be a great option for your next read. A puzzling mystery ~ a mystery with puzzles, enjoy doing both with this book.

Read On.
