Description

WHEN CHARLIE BAKER’S PARENTS ANNOUNCE that they’re taking him and his sister—the drama queen Clarissa—to a cabin in Maine for two weeks, Charlie thinks they’re kidding. Then their mom adds something else. “There’s no electricity,” she tells them. “And you leave your cell phones at home.” They weren’t kidding.

When the Bakers arrive at Lake Fortune, they are welcomed by a rickety cabin with an outhouse, a thunderstorm, and a creature in the attic that masquerades as a ghost. “Is this a scientific experiment?” asks Clarissa. “Is the government paying us?”

But the true adventure begins when they discover a clue left in a mason jar on a tiny island in the lake. That clue—written by The Mystery Traveler—leads them to a second clue. Soon, they are on the path of an exciting treasure hunt, one that brings Charlie and the bossy Clarissa together for the first time. Not only do they bond as brother and big sister, they have the summer of their lives.

Growing up in MN and spending many summer vacations at cabins on lakes, this book immediately caught my attention.

This was a fun, quick read with some lighthearted mysteries that kept me intrigued in what was going on.

This book reminded me of other children’s/young adult mystery books I read as a kid and something I will definitely reread with my daughter when she was a little older!

Uplifting sweet read. Kid focused "mystery". Gives a fun look for a summer adventure of two city kids at their family camp. I easily read this in a day.

Fun read for an adult. A good pallet cleanser between more serious heavy reads. And definitely fun for a parent and child to read together.

5 star recommendation. A terrific read to start the summer off on a happy note.

Thank you #netgalley & Down East Books for the eArc.

This is a middle grade book that spoke to my kid at heart. I loved this. My only problem was I wish it had been longer! I would have loved to have been them in a cabin by the lake with no electricity and a mystery to solve!! It was perfect!!
