Surrisi, C. M.

The Maypop Kidnapping

(3) 4-6 When eighth grader Quinnie Boyd's beloved teacher doesn't show up for school, Quinnie suspects foul play. Since her mom (the mayor, sheriff, and postmaster of their small Maine town) dismisses her worries, Quinnie undertakes the investigation herself. Eccentric characters, an authentic setting, and brisk pacing propel Surrisi's quirky debut; well-placed clues allow readers to join Quinnie in her detective work.
