BUSHWHACKED, Mystery at Point Beach, Book Four by Award-Winning Authors, Kate Jungwirth and Deborah Erdmann

What an adventure! Just when I think that Dominic, Forest, and Sailor have solved all—they discover another mysterious situation that only they can investigate. I loved this book. I believe it’s tops! I must confess that every time I read a Mystery at Point Beach book, I think I’ve found my new in the series favorite!

This book kept me interested—no shocker there! The characters were lifelike in attitude and goals yet very different from one another! The mystery began with a 1939 local lumberjack and a secret map that leads to an artifact. Dominic, Forest, and Sailor are contemporary kids who discovered that someone has recently messed with clues that were hidden long ago. Who could that be? I’m not telling. I loved learning more about the past linked with Point Beach. Keep your tissues ready—to pat your brow—Kate and Debby, you had me worried for the characters a couple of major times! But that’s fine. You have me yearning for the next offering in this series! No wonder that you are award winners! The codes and danger that these courageous characters are challenged with make this novel shine.

I look forward to the summer camping that Dominic, Forest, and Sailor experience. This book had many familiar characters revisit, and I’m grateful for that. I’ve come to enjoy the kid’s families and the bothersome Ranger Rick. Sally is new to this series, and she made me smile! Well done, Kate and Debby! Did you hear that applaud? 

If you like engaging characters, suspense, humor, mystery, a touch of history (not too much—just enough), and a well written and paced novel, then BUSHWACKED is your next read! I bet you could guess that I highly recommend this youth book.

Support Someone Saturday/ Administer Justice

where tomorrow leads by DiAnn Mills

Sudan, July 2005

This novel continues the suspense from A LONG WALK HOME. DiAnn transports readers into the conflicts simmering and afflicting Sudanese, Muslims, and Christians in Sudan. As a reader, I’m able to imagine the heat and beauty of this untamed land occupied by people fighting to survive lack, war, and religious conflicts. There are so many needs, yet courage and faithfulness abound. 

Despite dangerous wild animals and limited resources, the characters, Doctor Larson, Paul Farid, Colonel Ben Alier press on. They overcome extreme circumstances and trials, both personal and situational. I couldn’t stop turning pages. 

The love and admiration that DiAnn Mills has for the Sudanese are apparent in this novel. The writing was lovely and inviting. I admit it, I’d stop—though I wanted to page through quickly to see what was going to happen next—to reread. Not because the story was confusing. I knew who I was with and what was happening at all times. It’s just that the story world is so intense, and I wanted to stay. My hope is that there will be a book 3 in this series! This series is only on eBook.  

I want to thank you, DiAnn, for loving well and writing strong as you brought the struggles of Sudan and the beautiful people there to light! I highly recommend this eBook novel and encourage those who do to read DiAnn’s Acknowledgments and A Note from the Author.
