Benjamin Pratt & The Keeper of the School

Benjamin Pratt & The Keeper of the School is the latest book by Andrew Clements, my son's favorite author. It's the first book in a series.

The book is a mystery set in a school about to be torn down to make a theme park. Benjamin and his sidekick, Jill, are trying to save the school by finding clues left by the founders of the school.

I enjoyed the book and will read the next book in the series when it comes out.

Landon Snow And the Auctor's Riddle

Landon Snow And the Auctor's Riddle, by R.K. Mortenson is the first book in a series of six or seven books. I think the message of the book is great, but I got a little bogged down with the fantasy details. I wondered as I read if all the detail was necessary.
