The Mystery on the California Mission Trail

The Mystery on the California Mission Trail is by Carole Marsh. Another in the Real Kids, Real Places series. Grant & Christina head west with their grandparents to visit the California missions. When they arrive they discover that the bells from the missions are being stolen. They find themselves in a race against time to find the bells and catch the thief. This series is a great way to introduce young readers to mysteries. They are as predictable as Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys, but more modern, and this series includes a great introduction to historical events as well.

Ratings: 5th grade - 7 out of 10.
