Description

Another wild mystery needs to be solved and it’s up to the Pumpkin Falls Private Eyes to solve it in this hilarious follow up to the heartwarming middle grade mystery, Absolutely Truly.Even Truly Lovejoy has to admit that teeny-tiny Pumpkin Falls, New Hampshire, has its charms—like the annual maple festival, where tourists flock from all over to sample the local maple syrup, maple candy, maple coffee, and even maple soap! But when someone tries to sabotage the maple trees on her friend Franklin’s family farm, Truly has to rally the Pumpkin Falls Private Eyes to investigate. Meanwhile, she uncovers another, more personal mystery under the floorboards of her very own home—a diary written centuries ago by her namesake, the original Truly Lovejoy…and it might just prove her family’s ties to Pumpkin Falls run deeper than anyone ever could have imagined.

Booklist Review

Truly Lovejoy and her pals are back on the case in the second offering in the Pumpkin Falls Mystery series. The 13-year-old Texas transplant is still adjusting to life in picturesque Pumpkin Falls, New Hampshire, when her cousin Mackenzie comes to visit during school vacation and the town's Maple Madness. As local families begin feuding over a case of broken maple line taps, Truly and her friends are out to find the culprit. Meanwhile, Truly and Mackenzie happen upon an old family diary hidden beneath the floorboards; could the Lovejoys have played a role in the Underground Railroad? Frederick will easily maintain the reader's interest with the novel's two main mysteries. Complemented by the congenial setting, the cast of delightful townsfolk, young and old, could almost pass for the denizens of Stars Hollow. Truly's jealousy over her cousin's more carefree connections with the boys in town will strike a chord with emerging adolescent readers only now feeling out crushes. Fans of cozy mysteries, get your blankets and hot cocoa ready!--Barnes, Jennifer Copyright 2017 Booklist
