Review: Closed for the Season Mary Downing Hahn

Book Description:
Arthur and Logan, set out to solve the mystery of a murder that had taken place some years ago in the old house Logan's family has just moved into. The boys' quest takes them to the highest and lowest levels of society in their small Maryland town, and eventually to a derelict amusement park that is supposedly closed for the season.


 
Was this book worth my time?
Yes!
 
Interestingly enough, I hadn't ever heard of this novel until I came across it at our school's book fair.  Our libraian is fantastic and let me take a copy home to read it and review. 
 
Today, I returned the novel with a note that read, "AWESOME book.  Easy read, scary and funny!"  I wasn't lying.  This book was incrediably intriguing in it's plot line.  Hahn twists her story around central characters that all come together in the end in the most unexpected ways.  The main settings of the novel are "scary" and original. 
 
This novel  is an easy read. This is a great book for middle schoolers who like "scary" books!
 
 
What bothered me?
Nothing! Enjoy this mystery!
