Nice mystery and perfect for middle graders! The mystery is not scary and there are no bad words. A perfect feel good story. This was written for “tweens”. Easy to ready with full page pictures as well as double page pictures. I would have loved it as a kid! I had never seen this book before. I give this 4 stars and it’s a keeper.

This story contains very little in the area of mystery, yet it does have a strong female character interacting with two boys that do what they can to leave her behind. There are three main characters, Steve, Tod and Nancy, all of which are in their early teens. Steve and Tod try many times to keep Nancy out of their adventures, but she always manages to get involved and in fact helps them in their quests.
The other main characters are Major Clyde and Mr. Marshall. Major Clyde owns a run-down farm and is friends with the three teens. Mr. Marshall is a man that is interested in buying the farm and wants to turn it into a business that will operate to the detriment of the neighbors. The only real mystery is determining what Mr. Marshall’s true motives are.
The action moves pretty fast and there are many high quality, colored images. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the way of suspense.

I haven't read it in years, but I loved it when I was 12. I read it many times.
