SHADOWS ON THE LANE: Perfect for Junior Detectives

[Untreed]

Attention young sleuths, and the young at heart:

This is a fun and interesting book I feel is suitable for young teenagers and mystery-inclined youthful readers. I really enjoyed the main cast of characters, all of whom I found well rounded and realistic. Jessie in particular is a vibrant and interesting heroine, strong and intelligent but still young enough to be swayed by her crush and impulsive in her actions.
