A thrilling, epic tale from a brave and wildly interesting protagonist. This story will keep you guessing, as each page turns and the narrative unfolds. I would recommend for any YA reader, who loves a good thriller story,

Decent YA thriller with the trials of growing up set alongside crime and deceit. Mix that up with a ski resort in the Colorado mountains and you get Snowed.
A couple of plot flaws which likely won’t get spotted by the books intended audience.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

When a trip to the local school is sidelines by a snow storm, Plum and some other zoo friends have to spend the night alone at the school. Naturally trouble ensues. Plum is a little nervous but the other animals seem to be enjoying their adventure. Will the school's classroom pets lead them astray?

This is a mystery for middle school students that turned out to be a bit of a mixed bag for me. One of the book's strengths definitely lies in its quirky characters, as well as its occasionally snide humour.

Phee Mahoney's parents decided to name their four kids and household feline after their various literary phases, ending up with Zane (for westerns), Ophelia (for Shakespeare), Homicide the cat ( for crime fiction), and twins Brooklyn and Scout (your guess is as good as mine, but maybe Hubert Selby Jr and Harper Lee - though Phee does mention celebrity magazines, so maybe you can Blame It on Beckham, pun intended)!

Anyway, after being reluctantly dragged into attending a ski day through school, the decidedly non-athletic Phee ends up being the last person to interact with one of her schoolmates, a boy who goes missing after the school outing.

This, along with a suspicious accident and some very strange behaviour from next door neighbours, leads to Phee taking on the role of a detective-cum-spy.

A number of topics important for students are covered, including drug use, disability and bullying, and in the end - despite worrying about her mother who is missing on a work trip after encountering a natural disaster - Phee saves the day.

I think that the story delivered on a number of key elements, including the mystery aspect. And I liked the diversity of characters and issues, though the storytelling did not always hold my attention. Phee is a good MC, and her concern for Mrs Heckler was one aspect of the book I liked. So it was a mixed bag for me, as mentioned earlier.

A good, quick read. I loved the mystery and suspense! It surprised me and that hasn't happened in a long time

I don't really read a lot of mysteries, but this was pretty good.. mostly though, I t hink the rest of the stories and most issues were sounds when looking at the age of the friendgroup

This is a well-paced mystery, which swirls around themes such as friendship, responsibility, and snowboarding.

We meet Phee as she heads out on a school trip for skiing and snowboarding, something she is dreading since she claimed to be better at the sport than she is. While there, a fellow classmate disappears and the mystery begins.

The mystery is laid out with enough surprises to keep the reader guessing until the end. While Phee does have her hands full with figuring things out, the other drama also is nothing to ignore. I did find Phee a little harsh, at first, but she warms up as the story progresses. The friendships formed, mistakes made, and life lessons surrounding personal growth will ring true to readers of the age group.

An unpredictable YA mystery that kept me guessing with all the twists. A super quick and easy read-in-one-sitting, decently crafted novel with likable enough characters.

Snowed by Twist Phelan is a good YA mystery novel. The story's premise centers around Phee Mahoney, who's caught in an avalanche of trouble when she investigates a classmate's disappearance on a school ski trip and a hit-and-run that leaves a friend in a coma.

The story was well written and kept me guessing. I liked the author's writing style; it was engaging, and I liked how she portrayed the characters.

I would give this a solid 4 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this book and this author. The story held my interest and was a quick, twisty read.

This book is meant for middle school/P7 and S 1/2. This book covers so many topics within a fun story of adventure and mis-adventure; friendship, self-worth, social responsibility, growing up, first crushes, possible family loss, and not least snowboarding. Well worth picking up for a younger reader, adults will enjoy but may have to suspend their belief. Thank you to Bronzeville Books and NetGalley for the ARC.

Definitely a YA mystery masterpiece. I was with Opehlia (Phee) all the way. While, most the supporting characters were painted extremely well; the future boyfriend, not so much. This was a bit disappointing. I believe that all the parents out there should buy this for their daughters. It showed a strong female lead, even as the girl was filled with self-doubt. Very well written. Hurray for Twist Phelan!

A quick, easy and enjoyable read that was suspenseful, mysterious and twisty. The level of unpredictability kept me guessing until the end. I really liked it.
