Synopsis

A wholesome family mystery series for tweens and teens, 10-15 years

“What? Wait! Is that a little girl running onto the highway? Right in front of us? Oh my gosh!”

Only a hair-raising rescue can save a small child from certain death, but who is the mystery girl? Where did she come from? What happened to her family? Why is she out in Arizona’s rugged canyon country, just outside Prescott, all by herself?

What happens to her if there are no answers?

And is one mystery about to become two? How is that even possible? Are the two connected? Now, our four young detectives must connect the dots, otherwise. . .

The "mystery searchers" are born, but are they about to step straight into danger?

Good, old-fashioned sleuthing and a range of hi-tech tools are deployed in a clean, wholesome crime story: drones, web-enabled cameras, listening bugs, GPS tools and more. . . much more! In this series, you will step into the modern-day heart of Arizona’s Old West with our young detectives: high desert rolling hills, pine-dotted mountains, and the immense Prescott National Forest; the famous old Opera House; Whiskey Row (not what you’d think); Yavapai County Courthouse, and Skull Valley. Whoa!

Deserted mansions, lonely valleys, and hidden treasures. . . action and adventure, crime and mystery, clean and wholesome. This a ride you won’t want to miss!

Interview with the author

Q - What makes The Mystery Searchers Family Book Series so special?

It’s a mix of things, really. When I started the series, I wanted to integrate the things that I liked as a 10-15 year-old. . . from the 4th or 5th grade all the way into junior high school. I loved mystery books which lead, often, to mystery solving, crime and detective stories, and action and adventure. So I would devour books like the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, or Enid Blyton’s The Famous Five series. I quickly realized that clean, wholesome books were important too, and I’ve integrated that concept in every Mystery Searchers installment.

Q - What order should I read the books in?

I’ve written the series so that you can read them in any order. By the time you finish any one of the books, all the threads will come together.

Q – Are there more installments coming in the series?

None currently planned, but there ARE twelve exciting books in the series to enjoy.

Q - Does the author offer any other clean, wholesome books for this age group?

Yes! The first installment of The Time Travelers Series will be released in July, 2023.
