Review Detail

I was excited to receive the first two books in the Greetings From Somewhere series. Having a young reader in my own home, I am always on the look out for chapter books that he will be able to read independently and enjoy.

The concept of The Mystery of the Gold Coin is a good one. This book sets up the series nicely. Ella and Ethan are moving with their parents to travel the world. Sounds fun, doesn't it? While our two main characters Ella and Ethan don't venture far from home in this first book, readers will still enjoy following along with their adventures.

I'm looking forward to passing this one along to my son for his bookshelf. I can't wait to find out what happens in the next book!
