The Mystery of the Secret Mine Book Review

Title: The Mystery of the Secret Mine.

Author: Anne Begin.

Genre: Christian, Children's, Mystery, Adventure, Homeschool Author.

Plot: Nine year old Laura and her family are moving from Marysville to Colfax. With a bigger house to clean and mange, a new town to explore and new people to meet, Laura has her hands full. But summer days can also be very boring with nothing to do. Thankfully, her new-found friend Lonna takes care of that. Innocently spying on the mysterious groundskeeper, the girls come across an old mine and a buried secret within.

Likes/Dislikes: A local homeschooler wrote this book when she was ten and it can kinda show - there are a few editorial errors and the timeline of things is a little off. But the story is simple and told from the innocent wide-eyed viewpoint of a child, making it a very beautiful story. I enjoyed it and can't wait to share it with my daughter when she gets older.

Rating: G- all ages.

Date Report Written: May 28th, 2014.
