Book Description
Twelve-year-old Andora “Andi” Boggs and her fourteen-year-old sister Bethany move to rural Ohio to live with their eccentric twenty-something aunt after the sudden death of their parents. While dealing with her grief, Andi discovers proof of another Andora Boggs in the family tree whose existence was hidden in a Depression-era trunk in the attic. With help from her new friend and neighbor, Colin Carter, Andi is determined to find out who this first Andora was and what happened to her.
This book for young teens (middle school girls AND boys) is full of mystery and history. The characters and setting feel real and the story’s details are suspenseful keeping the reader’s interest. The author didn’t incorporate any serious Christian topics into the story although the writing was clean and wholesome. Appropriate for juvenile fiction. This sweet, energetic first book of a new series would be a nice holiday gift for a teen reader on your list.
