Fun mystery with interesting setting

My daughter enjoyed this book. She likes mysteries and the setting in a U.S. national parks interested her. There are other mysteries in this series and none have disappointed.

Please have a kid edit the dialogue!

I love this series; the national parks are interesting to learn about and most of the books include information woven into the story about wild animals and Native American lore. However, the dialogue drives me crazy! The kids sound like middle age women. That aside, though, enjoy this and the others in the series, and I'll see you at the Great Smokies!
