A fun mystery that I would like to share with some of my readers - those who like a puzzle, strange coincidences, etc. I think that some of my students might struggle with some lack of background knowledge - it might be a good one to get to read in Subtext so they could have some links posted...?

I found this book on a shelf in the waiting area of the The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum in Williamsburg, Virginia, while I was waiting for my parents to finish their tour of the museum. It was a quick read--I got about 3/4ths of the way through the book while I waited--but I can't say t...

I liked the kids, the way they were nerdy and both from in...
This was a lot of fun. A middle-school grade mystery, I’d say. It was nice in that there were a lot of puzzles but even if you couldn’t figure them out, you could still read the story. However, the solution left me annoyed because I don’t see any way the reader could have independently deduced the v...
