Book #2-Max & Me Mysteries
Returning from her hospital stay where she had a bone marrow transplant, Jessie Miller dives right into solving a mystery with her best friend Max. Max, a foster child, has decided to live with the kind, elderly Amelia Truesdale. Someone is intent on destroying Mrs. Truesdale's lavendar business. Then a dead body shows up in an abandoned mine on Mrs. Truesdale's property and Max is missing . . .Can Jessie figure out the common denominator, find her missing friend, and restore Mrs. Truesdale's business?
Suspenseful! Short chapters, easy sentence structure and minimal challenging vocab will make this book/series appeal to reluctant or struggling readers.
A bit unrealistic and not "quality literature". But if it encourages reluctant readers to read and to read a lot, it fulfills a good purpose. A "beach read" quality for middle school girls.
God and praying are mentioned.
Warning: Murder-a dead body is found, Max's aunt and uncle were drug users-just mentioned-no details,characters are in peril at times -Max is run off the road while riding her bike, a few other incidents (but this is a mystery series, so it should be expected!)
-Borrowed from the library.
