This was a fantastic book! I loved reading this book. I love mystery and crime, and this was right up my ally. I appreciated how this story developed. I would recommend this book for sure, and I think that this would be a good book for middle schoolers. ( )

I absolutely loved this book! The mystery and the twists and turns are so easy to follow and intriguing nonetheless. This book is a must read for children in the mid range level and it will promise to be an exciting read. Not only are the characters very relatable and charismatic, they offer insight within the book to explain their actions and emotions. The friendship between the two main characters really provokes and helps kids to learn to be friends with people who you are not exactly alike. This is a good and heartwarming adventure that will make you not want to put down the book. I went in expecting to be bored since it is a bit younger for my read, but the book made sure to hold the attention of its reader throughout. The author did an excellent job at covering all groups of people and from all different backgrounds in this novel. Once you pick it up, you will not be able to put it down. ( )

The author is Mary Dawning Hahn. The main two characters in this book are Logan Forbes and Arthur Jenkins. They become good friends and both face character development throughout the book as they try to solve the mystery of Mrs. Donaldson. Many conflicts arise as Logan and Arthur stick their noses into other people's businesses as they try to solve the murder. They make many friends and enemies along the way. The main themes of Closed for the Season are coming of age and harmful assumptions. The setting of this book is Beaseville, Maryland. This book is an entertaining and funny mystery novels that teaches readers about friendship and good vs evil. It shows students that sometimes you have to break the rules of go abasing the status quo in order to be the better person and do the good thing. This book is easy to read, and it keeps you wanted more after every chapter because of the suspension of the mystery. ( )
