JANIS HENNESSEY loves to write books for children of all ages. The stories are inspired by her own family adventures, friends, and pets. Janis hopes the stories she imagines will ignite the joy of reading in each child, and this joy will encourage the young reader to reach for another and another book.
I received this book free in exchange for an honest review.
The Mystery of the Vanishing Pets follows a groups of child detectives as they investigate a series of missing pets, deal with school bullies, and a mysterious boy who lives next door but never leaves his house. The question becomes how do all these events relate to each other and the missing pets?
The story is well written for children who are starting to read chapter books. The storyline is enjoyable and keeps the reader engaged. The characters are relatable and the suspense is appropriate for the intended audience. As the mystery unfolds the reader is exposed to the concepts of teamwork, problem solving, importance of friendship, and courage.
I would definitely recommend this book for young readers and look forward to reading this with my great nieces when they visit this summer.
