A Thrilling Mystery for All Ages

This book was so good, it made me want to read a sequel! The setting is the beautiful Maine coast, perfect for the story. The characters are Cassie, Marc, Liz, Sam the dog, Danny, the mom, the retirement home residents, and of course, a couple of bad villians. This book is absolutely perfect for all ages, and there's just enough romance, and action. Marc is the older teenage "crush" that Cassie is always relying on for help, until the end! Ryan is the mysterious crush of Liz's, and I won't tell you if he's good or bad! You have to find out!I wont tell you what acctually happens, but it's definetely a must-read!

Mystery at Kittiwake Bay

The book Mystery at Kittiwake Bay takes place by an ocean, at the end of a cliff, in an old mansion. The characters names are Cassie; her little brother, Danny; her best friend, Marc; and John who was pretending to be a friend, but really wasn't. Other characters are Cassie's dog, Sam; Liz, one of Cassie's friends; and two troublemakers named Sailor and Jake. This book is a mystery realistic fiction. Cassie is just adapting from moving away from Ohio to Maine. One event that was really funny was the part when Cassie's little brother Danny says, "I want a cat." Cassie says, "You have Sam!" I think you should read this book because it doesn't make you say, "What a boring book!" Instead you say, "Cool, terrific, enjoyable, mysterious book!" I would tell you if your looking for book aim for Mystery at Kittiwake Bay!

Kittiwake Bay

The protagonist is Meg. The conflict in the story is that Meg, her mom, and her brother, Danny, move to Kittiwake Bay and the place where Meg works there are people`s things missing. So it`s up to her and her friend, Marc, to find the stolen things and who stole them. The thing I liked best about this story is the setting because it is the best setting for this story.
