The Blizzard on Blue Mountain

Brothers Jeff and David and their kooky cousin Claire (and their dogs) are a great team when it comes to solving mysteries in their small mountain town.

The Blizzard on Blue Mountain is the fifth in the Cabin Creek Mysteries series and this time around, it's winter break and the cousins are working at a ski chalet on Blue Mountain when odd things begin to go missing. They are hot on the trail of the culprit when a blizzard hits and they get stranded alone in the chalet.

What I love most about this series is that the cousins always work together and while they may not always agree on the best route to solving their mysteries, Gregory respects her characters enough to not let them fall into the insults and potty-talk that has invaded so many young reader books today.

Good for boys and girls and even classroom group reading, the Cabin Creek Mysteries are my 8-year old son's favorite books. Gregory had better write faster because he whips through one book in about two nights. He's anxiously awaiting #6: The Secret of the Junkyard Shadow--which couldn't be more perfect for him because he loves junk and junkyards.
