Mystery of the Missing Horseman by Gita V. Reddy
This is another middle school age book for kids to read.
It's about Sandy and she's heading to India to her mother's family palace where she grew up.
Sandy had gone the previous year but was sick and is really looking forward to this trip.
Legends and tales, there are so many of them but the they are talked about by the experts and brought to life in front of the kids.
The one that really gets them going is the missing horseman. When the original kids growing up in the palace were given gifts, they were mechanical things.
The younger boy didn't want to share his with the older boy cuz he had broken his race car already, so the youngest one hid it in a compartment.
There are well over 100 family members staying at the palace and some are given death threats.
The mafia want the palace and lands and the original papers mysteriously go missing.
Love the technology brought into this story as it helps the kids find some many items, treasures and documents.
Love details of tunnels, palace all lit up, cottages and caves.
Palace has enough things for everybody to do, even the adults with meetings about yoga and other interesting things. Love hearing of the traditions and the village how they are there for all and palace is there for them.
Love this series but they are stand alone books. Ends with a bit about the Mystery of the Diamond Ring.
A High Sierra Christmas by Mark Stephen Taylor
Wow what a story about the high sierra mountains and the story of Jeremiah Jackson.
So many details and descriptions of the area and the times, the basic things that you can always fall back on.
Learned so many things about Indians and the way of the world up on the mountain.
Love how the girl speaks to the bank robbers, never thought I'd see that happening. They even mention other trail blazers: Muir, etc.
How they have each others back is quite amazing and the animals that they have all learned from.
