Mathieson has crafted another in the Young Adult mystery series featuring feisty teen sleuth, Becky Bing.
"Summer Games" is receiving rave reviews from all adults (young and old) who enjoy mysteries reminiscent of classic Nancy Drew stories. But Becky uses clues with modern tools and contemporary sizzle.
Becky Bing and her friend, Jake, avoid getting caught at the wrong place at the wrong time. Hiding from unexpected intruders, they witness a mysterious crime. But after a robbery-shooting rocks the town, Becky is certain the same criminals are involved. Racing to keep ahead of the police, she uses everything from shotguns to softballs and from dugouts to dachshunds to determine the suspects. As she digs for clues, she uncovers more about the criminals, more about boyfriend Jake, and much more about herself.
(The author, an advocate of learning new languages and cultures, has used Mandarin phonetics and characters in some dialogue)
