Synopsis

The perfect series for kids who loved THE LEMONADE WAR series and are ready for more mysteries!"With wit, cunning, snappy dialogue and superior math skills, The Red Blazer Girls represent the best of girl-detectives while still feeling relatable and real. Nancy Drew would be right at home with this group." -- Huffington Post's 15 Greatest Kid Detectives List

When there are mysteries to be solved, the Red Blazer Girls are on the case! The discovery of the Ring of Rocamadour has secured the girls' reputation as Upper East Side super-sleuths, bringing many sundry job requests (no mystery too small, right?) and some unwanted attention from crooks. This time the girls must follow a trail of cryptic clues, involving everything from logic to literature, to trace a rare violin gone missing. But nothing is as it appears, and just as a solution seems imminent, the girls find themselves scrambling to save the man who was once their prime suspect.Bowstrings and betrayal, crushes and codes abound in this suspenseful companion to the Red Blazer Girls' 2009 debut. Michael Beil, a New York City high school English teacher and life-long mystery fan, delivers a middle-grade caper that's perfect for middle-grade readers who have finished THE LEMONADE WAR series and are ready for more advanced mysteries!

I wasn’t really expecting to finish this book given the fact that I never finish the second book in a series. But I was wrong. I loved how funny it was, and the great twist at the end.

Goodreads review by Heidi on October 28, 2011

It was a pretty cute story, and fun for kids who like to mess around with codes and puzzles. There was some good suspense and plot twists. My issues were that I don't think 12-year-olds should be dating and kissing, there was a little too much OMG, and mixed messages about revenge and meanness. On t......more

Goodreads review by Linda on July 30, 2012

This is the second title in the Red Blazer Girls series- 4 young girl sleuths who attend school in New York City. I love this series! Again, this book has clues, this time mostly of the cipher-type, which lead the girls through the mystery to the conclusion. They solve the entire mystery by the clue......more

My typical read is fantasy, all age ranges, so this was a bit of a departure for me. To be frank, however, I would prefer my 12 year old daughter not read this......more
