Riley Mack stirs up more
trouble by Chris Grabenstein
Crises abound at Fairview
Middle School and Riley and his crew – tech savvy Jake, theatrical genius
Brianna, strong and loyal Mongo and boy magician Jamal are there to right
injustices wherever they see them. This time they uncover a plot to sabotage
the talent show where Brianna plans to sing her way to a college scholarship.
The local country club is hosting the event. The gang’s nemesis, Sarah Paxton,
whose father runs the club, is also competing. At the same time Riley and
friends stumble upon an ecological disaster at their favorite swimming hole
where all the fish are found belly up. They trace the source of the toxins to
the newly built golf course at the country club. The kids know Mr. Paxton is up
to no good and to prove it they need to find out what’s underneath the
nineteenth hole. This is a grand mystery caper with something to please
everyone – impersonations, chemical lab tests, nighttime digging, disguises, shady
corporate deals and more. These clever, resourceful, detention worthy middle
schoolers will have readers on the edge of their seats. Don’t miss a grade A
blast of the best kind of troublemaking. (Book provided for review by Children's Lit - www.childrenslit.com).
