DON'T GO NEAR MRS. TALLIE (FRIGHTMARES 3)
Grade 5-8?In the third book in this series, Rosie Saunders and her best friend, Kayo Benton, once again run into trouble when they decide to help an elderly neighbor find a home for her cat. While attempting to help Mrs. Tallie, the girls uncover an attempted murder, a deadly case of mistaken identity, and a mystery that they eventually solve with the help of the police. Rosie and Kayo are smart, positive characters who care about others and who learn from their mistakes. Youngsters will enjoy reading about kids who live ordinary lives but who make an effort to help others in their community through the activities of their "Care Club." The lessons are subtly presented; the girls put their trust in someone they know little about, only to realize that first impressions can be dangerously wrong. Well-written and with a well-formed plot, the story moves along quickly and will hold readers' interest.?Carrie A.
