Entertaining read!
I want to thank J.T. Lewis for writing Pepper And Longstreet (Vol. 1, The Beginning). I am an avid reader. My granddaughter, however, is not. I've been trying for so long to get her interested in reading and I think J.T. Lewis just might be the answer! I can't wait to give this book to her!
I so enjoyed the interaction between Pepper and Longstreet in this short story. I can't wait until Vol. 2 comes out to see what other adventures are in store for Pepper, and if Longstreet finds his ride!
This is a wonderful YA short story and I highly recommend it. If you've been looking to get your young teenager hooked on reading, Pepper And Longstreet (Vol. 1, The Beginning) just might be the answer to your prayers.

Pepper is your average teenager in an average school, She stumbles onto a mystery and solves it along with her partner, Longstreet. Oh, and Longstreet happens to be something super special. So, maybe not so average!
Together they embark on serious adventures discovering all of the nooks and crannies of their hometown that they never knew existed!!
Growing up reading mysteries puts me right on track with this one. I would say that its right up there with the Nancy Drew Mysteries!
I highly recommend JT Lewis' new Pepper & Longstreet series!

"Wow, I'm Hooked On This Mystery Series"
Teens have great imaginations, and teens will really enjoy these fast paced short mysteries. In this first story, "The Beginning," Pepper Jones is a 16-year old girl who works at the pretzel stand at the mall. She also has a 'hobby' of wanting to solve mysteries. There is an increase in burglaries in her area and after marking a map reflecting the locations, she comes up with an idea where she and her 'partner' think the stolen goods might be hidden. Jacob Longstreet always seems to tag along with Pepper, even when she does not want him to sometimes. But he's instrumental in helping her stay safe during her escapades. I'd like to say so much more about Jacob, but it will ruin the first story for you. This is a very innovative story, extremely well written, shy on descriptions, but intense on action and suspense. Don't hesitate reading this shorty ... you'll want to read more adventures of "Pepper and Longstreet Investigators."

Awesome short story series! I enjoyed these two short stories involving teen crime sleuth Pepper and her ghost-sidekick Longstreet. Definitely a fun teen series to follow, the writing is witty, the story lines fun and full of of twists. One to watch for!
