The Mystery of Ghost Island (The Mystery…

 The Mystery of Ghost Island by Paul Moxham
This book starts out with series listings of the authors works and praise for his writing.
Story is about the children and Will's father invites them all to meet his friend in France.
I can't even imagine all the fun places they are going to find: ghost island, caves, submarines, earthquake and paintings by a dear friend of theirs.
Children camp out in the yard and really get to explore the location and run in Quigley who loves the area himself. Love how he tells them of a location he's been to before, so much in detail they will be able to use it themselves.
As always the kids get intro trouble, run away, get caught, escape, etc...
Love how they reason out a problem til a solution is found. This would make an awesome movie because everything is described in excellent detail you can just picture it all in your mind.
Like how they find great places and people they meet.

Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.

The Mystery of Four Towers by Paul Moxham
This book starts out with series listings of the authors works and praise for his writing.
Story starts out where the children have raced to Darby's their favorite store. Will gets bored and there are no mysteries so he decides they need to just make one up and he concentrates on a man that sits nearby.
The children end up following him and they see later he's been kidnapped so the police are alerted and the real story comes out.
They next read about Four Towers and that it will be open the next several days to the public, for free. Kids set off to go explore and end up in one of the most fascinating mysteries ever.
Their friend from long ago has returned but he ends up going missing but he's also told them of a secret tunnel and how stones are pressed to make an opening accessible.
So many things to captivate their attention and help when it comes to times they are being chased. Love where this one leads as the girls are the ones in charge and have the big choices to make.
Jewels are up for the grabs also.  I can just really picture this as a movie. The author describes it just perfectly, not only can you be there right besides them but you can feel the emotions they go through.
Wonderful ending, never saw it ending like this!

The Mystery of the Crown Jewels by Paul Moxham
This book starts out with the kids getting an unexpected visitor: Nadia from a previous book and they learn of the kings birthday celebration that they are invited to, in Monrovia.
Parents let them travel with her and they meet the circus people and are given a tour of where the jewels are kept. While the performance goes on the jewels are stolen and everybody is searched high and low.
Joe thinks the jewels could be in the lions cage because nobody would ever search there. He watches and sees the lion tamer with a ransack and he meets Mr. Chang and hands over the sack....
They follow and chase and a fire erupt almost killing one boy. Others come to the rescue.... for a bit..
So much more action as they trace the jewels and try to recover them....
Fire on the plane, blowing up, bridge falling apart as they cross and so many more dangerous scary things....



8 Exciting Middle Grade Novels by Paul Moxham


The Mystery of Smuggler's Cove by Paul Moxham
What I like about this book is that there is one brother and two sisters and they meet Will who knows a lot about the locale.
He shows them the caves and one day Joe goes by himself to investigate.  Lucky the girls help rescue him later in the day..
When they go with Will another day they go far into the caves-reminds me a bit about game of thrones as they have caves and tunnels under the castles.
This one they learn is where men meet and bring boxes in and will go during night hours to bring the goods to the boats to sell to others.
Very scary that they are only kids. Almost like a Hardy Boys mystery so am enjoying it.
Reminds me also of our local rum runner smugglers off the beach via the drain pipes that are big enough to walk through.
Brave kids and like what they find out and where...
