Denali Hawthorne, a spunky teenage girl in Anchorage, Alaska, has an "insatiable curiosity", and what could be more curious than a frozen body in her front yard? Stranger still, it appears that the young man had a close (and ruinous) encounter with a moose! Nancy Drew, step aside, because author Lisa Hall Deckert has a winning protagonist in "Nali" Hawthorne. This delightful book kicks off a mystery series that will enchant and educate young readers. Ms. Deckert has given Nali and her friends authentic teenage voices and captured the beauty of Alaska to boot. Have I mentioned that marvelous Moose?
