Dixie Randolph and the
Mystery of Willow Creek is an adorable book that promises many hours of enjoyable reading
for middle-grade readers. It’s lively, fast-paced, and Dixie and her friend,
Ruby Jo, show just how clever, creative, helpful, and energetic young people
can muster up when faced with danger. In today’s highly unpredictable
environment, it encourages your people to think for themselves, learn to adapt
to situations, stay calm, and figure out how to survive and cope when plunged
into an unsafe situation. It is a well-written book, and a fun read that will hook the reader on the first page, wrap them in intrigue and mystery, keep them spellbound and reading to the end.
