Three Times Lucky

Three Times Lucky is a wonderful story about a young girl named Mo LoBeau who is on the trail of a murderer. Mo LoBeau unexpectedly arrived at the small town of Tupelo Landing as a baby, with no knowledge of her family. Now, she lives with a man called the Colonel, and Ms. Lana, who together own the town cafe. She loves her new family, but is forever curious about her old one, and is on a never-ending quest to discover more about her past. However, her simple life takes a sharp turn when her beloved town is struck with murder.

Mo and her best friend Dale set off to find the culprit and keep the town from falling into chaos. I enjoyed this book. It is a fairly well crafted mystery with a pinch of suspense. I think that the author helps you get to know the characters, and lets you explore their unique personalities and how they each relate to the mystery. Turnage also keeps you guessing who the culprit is, and keeps you entertained throughout the story. I would definitely recommend this fun and exciting book to mystery and adventure lovers, ages 9-14.

Precious Bones

Precious Bones is a very unique tale about a 10-year-old girl named Bones who lives on the edge of a swamp. Her father, although he seems wise to Bones, is known for his mischievous character across the swamp. And when a dead body is found at the edge of his land, Bones' father becomes the prime suspect. The story is told from Bones' naive perspective as she and her best friend, Little Man, try to save her father from jail and the swamp from disaster. I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone who likes Carl Hiaasen books, or just adventure and mystery with a touch of magic and one or two miracles.

One for the Murphys

One for the Murphys is a great, realistic book. After her mom is hospitalized and she is sent to a foster family, Carley feels out of place. Life at the Murphys’ house is the opposite of when she lived alone with her mom. The book tells about how Carley’s feelings change, and how the Murphys go from feeling like someone else’s family to her family. I recommend One for the Murphys because it’s a great book with interesting, believable characters.
