Tracks
Twelve-year-old Natalie Carpenter wants nothing more than to follow the old train tracks straight out of her no-nothing, go-nowhere, nothing-but-bad-memories town, but when a stranger arrives seeking to unravel mysteries left behind by his recently deceased mother, what started out as the worst summer of Natalie's life is about to dramatically change. From abandoned train stations to old museums to encounters with a famous actress and even to a haunted hotel, Natalie and her new found friend, John Paul, race to piece together clues that could very well solve a half-century old missing person case and even lead to the discovery of a fabled hidden treasure. More importantly, will the secrets they reveal help heal deep wounds of the past, including Natalie’s own?

Really great middle grade (elementary school) mystery!

This is the perfect book for young readers. I was confused for by the 2 and 1 stars but they didn’t have a review so I wanted to write one with mine. It brings to life a small town in Maryland and has a lot of historical elements in the story. The two kids are related and use the resources they have on hand to solve a mystery. A fun, exciting story for late elementary and middle school readers.

This book was so much fun to read! A great plot with interesting characters. I really liked how the author wove the charming town of Berlin into the story.

This is a quick easy read for the whole family. I'm from Maryland and met the author at a craft fair. It is a cute story.
