$25 Amazon/PP-1-WW-Holly and the Framed Friend: The Holly Lewis Mystery Series-Dianne Harman Ends 5/7


You may remember Holly from the Cottonwood Springs series. Well now she has her own series and it is really good! This one can be read by tweens and adults alike. I grew up reading Nancy Drew and it does kind of remind me of them. Of course the things that can happen are more up to date. If you have read the Cottonwood Springs series then you know that Holly was invited to visit relatives she never knew she had.

Of course she was nervous and really wanted to know why her Mom never mentioned these relatives to her. She wanted to find out the truth**It took a bit of digging and finding and reading her Mom's diary in her Grandfather's house (she hadn't known about him either!). However--all that got sidelined when a girl at her cousins school was accused of defaming school lockers and walls--unfairly. Some one had dressed to look like her--Holly and two cousins decided to find out who really did this to exonerate the friend and so the Bonfire the girl's parents threw every year would go on. As most of us are aware--high school girls can be very two faced--pretend to be your friend--but can also be VERY jealous and back stabbing.

There were several girls who were suspects and Holly and cousins had to slowly figure out who did it.

Does Holly figure out both mysteries? This does end on a kind of happy note---Parents beware of just how popular you want your children to be!!

  13. I have yet to read any from the Cottonwood Springs series but I have read Murder & the Monkey Band and have all the Red Zero and Black Dots series (yet to read as so many ARCs so little time!) But I grew up on Agatha Christie, Ellery Queen, then on to Nancy Drew so I am a super lover of Whodunits!
