After reading Author, Ben Woodard's middle grade book, The Boy Who Flew With Eagles, I wanted to read more of his work. I was delighted to find that he is now writing a series about two cousins, who find themselves in the middle of a mystery in their town of Shakertown. In the first of the series, he keeps true to the time line of the 1920's, and keeps the story exciting and moving with threats of injury and perhaps even death.  The teen age boys speaks as boys will when not in front of an adult, so I don't think the small bit of bad language will corrupt teen readers. This book is probably not for any reader under 14 but I will give this book to my 16 year old grandson.I also want to compliment the cover designer. I would pick this book up at any book store just by seeing the cover. Waiting to read the next in the series.
