Too early to review or star (as it isn't out till 2014), but I LOVED it. ...more

I just love Mo and Dale and the whole community of Tupelo Landing. It gives me this homey feeling like Avonlea or Hogwarts. I love to be in that world with those characters!

This second book, a sequel to Three Times Lucky, puts the Desperado Detectives on the case again. This time they're trying to find a ghost that haunts an old inn and pass 6th grade history at the same time.

Full of perfect Mo-isms and Dale-isms, folksy wisdom, bucket loads of charm, and some truly funny moments!

Beautifully written by the author of Newbery Honor winner THREE TIMES LUCKY. I found it a little slow at times.

This is a good book, and I really enjoyed Three Times Lucky, but I think once was enough for me.
