Abstract:
Two 13-year-old boys, while exploring a dense forest, discover evidence that a very serious crime has been committed. When the police don’t believe them because of previous inaccurate reporting which proved to be an embarrassment to the department, and their parents cannot be told that they entered the forbidden forest for fear of being punished, these two amateur sleuths realize they must solve the old crime on their own. Eventually, by using all their detective skills, they manage to discover the identity of the culprit, at great risk to themselves.

I was riveted to my chair reading this gem and you will be too! The Secret in the Forest is the first mystery I have been enticed to read in its entirety. Considering I am 67 and have the same name, Nancy Drew (a family name), as the Nancy Drew mystery series (which I couldnt get interested in as a child), I think that is significant. I could not put this delightful book down, so I read it in one evening sequestered on my sunporch with my feline companion. Reminiscent of my childhood, the forest and farm scenes were totally delightful, scarey, intriging and surprising! Loved milking the cow from a child's perspective and countless other scenes! I was very impressed at how the 2 boys cleverly and carefully uncovered the name of the murderer, all the while being forbidden to enter the forest, they did just that time and time again! I was seriously scared for the safety of the 2 boys toward the end when the identity of the murderer was revealed. In my mind this was really happening! I positively loved it, and you will too! Whether you are child, adult or senior!
