I have always been a writer through college, a business career, and motherhood. I finally put my ideas on paper and created an adventure series perfect for middle grade readers. As an author and speaker, I have listened to what messages are important to teachers and their students regarding reading materials in class and beyond. This book in a series with two other Sophie and Scottie titles prepares the student to use their best skills when reading this amount of text now and in high school and beyond. By writing these books, I hope to promote literacy while the reader is being entertained when learning about the conflicts and obstacles within the mystery that needs to be solved. The reader bonds with the main and support characters while joining them through their journey to ultimately solve the mysterious plot in this chapter book.
