Review

"A fast-paced, heartwarming mystery and coming-of-age tale that will appeal to readers from baby boomers to teens. The likable hero struggles with adolescence even as he searches for his father's killer, and as his small town's neighborliness is tainted with prejudice and corruption." ―Patricia Skalka, author of Death Rides the Ferry

"A gripping novel sure to entertain young readers and give their grandparents a trip down memory lane, Guhl's cleanly suspenseful story delivers hard lessons about greed, violence, racism, and the value of an independent spirit, all in family-friendly language laced with a history of the Fox Valley." ―Abby Frucht, author of Polly's Ghost
