Reader reviews

This Virginia Mars for the tween-set is funny, smart, and full of preternatural wisdom.

Edward Hemingway, Author, Bad Apple (review of Shirley Link & The Safe Case)

Shirley Link & The Safe Case was one of the best mystery novels I've ever read...It grabbed my attention with engaging characters and a twisting and turning plot line...Definitely a must read, even for adults. Totally worth it.

Kid review on Amazon

A fast paced plot that was easy to follow with an exciting mystery that keeps your attention. The Shirley Link series, is a great read for children, teens and anyone who enjoys a good middle-grade read.
