Thank you so much, Multicultural Children’s Book Day and Pack-n-Go Girls® for the gift of this review copy, and the opportunity to review Mystery of the Golden Temple: A Pack-n-Go Girls® Adventure! There’s a lot to love here, as well as some notes that I think are important for educators/parents to know before diving in, so I’ve organized this review into sections, which is a little different than usual (though I really liked doing this, so who knows—this might become my new format!). Remember t

I remember reading The Babysitter's Club books and Swiss Valley Twins books when I was in 3rd and 4th grade. What I loved about those books were two things that I loved about this book: they were part of a series so I could read more and the friendships that the characters had were what I thought was typical.

Pack-N-Go Girls Adventure series for young readers is an outstanding collection of books which instill a sense of curiosity and a fascination with travel and adventure for a youth audience. Authors Lisa Travis and Janelle Diller work in tandem to breathe life into this highly engaging and cunningly educational series. Each book within the collection includes a mind-tickling mystery which takes place somewhere outside the United States. As clues to the mystery unfold, readers are introduced to th

Fun to read with my daughters in Chiang Mai. Love the adventuresome girl characters. My girls loved the pictures.
Everyone loves a little adventure! I was very impress with how this story, not only was a fun mystery, but it introduces you to historical facts, culture, and the language of Thailand. It allows readers of all ages to dig dipper and learn more about another country. (I received this book free from Author for Multicultural Book Day, January 27) Miss T’s Book Room Approves!

Mystery of the Golden Temple follows Jess Johnson, an nine-year old African-American girl traveling with her mother and brother to Thailand. Jess is paired up with Nong May, the Thai daughter of her mom's colleague, and the story follows their early mishaps and adventures.
This was a delightful book and a quick read. At right around 100 pages and 10 chapters, it is a great fit for the emerging reader looking to move up from young fiction or easy readers into longer middle grade fiction. There's a ...more

I just adore this series of fun, educational books geared toward mystery, adventure and discovering new cultures! The illustrations, the writing, the glossaries, all combine to make a really well-done series that I would recommend for anyone with young girls in their lives. This whole series is such a fun way to get young readers to explore other cultures. Great series for parents and teachers.
Have loved this series from the start for it's sense of culture and place, all set in fictional world young readers can relate to. I especially liked the What to Know Before You Go section in this book. Makes me want to travel with my young nieces!

My niece LOVED this book! She really enjoyed the suspense of the characters searching for the temple through the jungle and fearing that they were being followed. She is looking forward to reading other books in the series - a home run hit with that 10 year old!
