Kalli, 10, loves to solve mysteries. After the summer holidays Mrs. Malloy, the teacher, asks the children to each tell about what they did during the holidays. Seth, a new boy, tells everyone that he climbed Mount Everest? Really? Kalli knows that it takes a lot of training to climb Mount Everest. However Seth says he has photos which he brings to school the next day.Kalli is really puzzled. Something is fishy about this story but she cannot figure out what. What is it? You'll have to read this short book to find out.Cons: The author instructs readers to email her if they do not know the answer to the mystery. I personally, do not want my children emailing strangers for whatever reason so it would have been nice if the author had provided the answer. Maybe she could have disguised it in someway - hidden it in other letters or something.The tense changes in the first sentence - "She already knew what she wanted to be when she grows up." There are other incidences of tense change that could do with editing.Still a book worth reading though.
