Part friendship saga and part mystery tale, Lisa Jahn-Clough has a lot of wisdom to share with her readers of this book about Simon and Molly.
When Simon came over to Molly's house to play, they'd always play hide and seek. Often, he'd tell her that the places she hid were too easy.
THEN HE GOT WHAT HE WISHED FOR
Uh-oh. The next time Simon visited, Molly found a place to hide... where she couldn't be found.
Then a mysterious stranger came to the door and offered to help Simon find his missing friend.
Such a mystery! Such a happy ending, too -- although no spoilers from me, no no!
Another FIVE STAR triumph from author and illustrator Lisa!
