Alexis And The Lake Tahoe Tumult (Camp Club Girls)
There is a good plot, there is a mystery, and there are interesting characters. Erica Rodgers does a fine job setting the scene and tone of this book right from the beginning. You even want to know how Alexis and her friends would handle things. They have a great track record for finding the culprit and each person in the group has a skill set that they all rely on to help save the day. Even as an adult you can appreciate this book. I appreciate NetGalley for the opportunity to let me review this book. I give this book 9 out of 10. It was really good. I liked it a lot. I may even see what other books Erica Rodgers has written in order to read other Alexis books. --Scott LaVigneLaVigne's Blog2011-04-21This book reminded me a lot of the Baby-sitters Club books I read as a kid, but they are more contemporary and even more wholesome than that series. These tween girls are active, interested, and engaged with the world around them, and they care about one another as well as making a difference in the grand scheme of things. Here and there, they reflect on God's work in the world, and the ways He might be able to help them solve their case, but the story is by no means a litany of Bible verses, and  these characters are not "goodie-goodies." Even children without a religious background could certainly relate to them, and Christian children, regardless of denomination, will likely be pleased to see girls like themselves who have religious convictions and act according to them. Overall, I'm really impressed with this series, and I plan to read some of the others available from NetGalley. --Katie AhearnSecrets & Sharing Soda2011-05-04This is another goodCamp Club Girlsbook. The story has multiple layers and never drags. The reader must stay on their toes if they want to figure out who is doing all the bad things to the reserve. This is a fun book with great characters that are easy to care about. If you have liked the previousCamp Club Girlsbooks, you will definitely like this one. Good fun. --Suzanne MorrisKid Lit Reviews2011-05-16
