First Clues: Mysteries for Kids is your source for information on over 100 mystery series for children and young adults where each series is conveniently listed under four different age categories (New Sleuths, ages 4 to 6; Future Sleuths, ages 7 to 9; Sleuths in Training, ages 10 to 12, and Apprentice Sleuths, ages 13 and older).
Earlier this week when we were updating our website with new series, we inadvertantly omitted one we had tagged to add.
The Ring of Rocamadour by Michael D. Beil
1st book in The Red Blazer Girls Series
It all began with The Scream. And ended with ... well, if we told you that, it wouldn’t be a mystery! But in between The Scream and The Very Surprising Ending, three friends find themselves on a scavenger hunt set up for a girl they never met, in search of a legendary ring reputed to grant wishes. Are these sleuths in school uniforms modern-day equivalents of Nancy, Harriet, or Scooby? Not really, they’re just three nice girls who decide to help out a weird lady, and end up hiding under tables, tackling word puzzles and geometry equations, and searching rather moldy storage rooms for “the stuff that dreams are made of” (that’s from an old detective movie). Oh, and there’s A Boy, who complicates things. As boys often do.
The Ring of Rocamadour was published in April with the second in the series, The Vanishing Violin, scheduled for publication next spring. The Red Blazer Girls Series are recommended for readers aged 10 to 12. For more information about the series and author, visit RedBlazerGirls.com.
We are also pleased to offer First Clues Reviews, reviews of mysteries featured on our site written by students. These book reviews provide a unique perspective by their young readers, often insightful, always entertaining.
