Seven Clues

by Kathy Stinson

tagged: mysteries & detective stories
Description

Matt is bored. It's summer vacation, all his friends are away, and there is nothing -- NOTHING -- to do in Pebble Creek ... until he receives a clue to a mystery!
"There's something you should look for. It will bring you great pleasure. Not coins in a pirate's chest but a different sort of treasure."
A treasure? In Pebble Creek? That's crazy, thinks Matt, and if he wasn't so bored, he'd throw away the postcard. But he doesn't, and one mysterious clue leads to another ... Seven Clues is an engaging mystery story packed with all the excitement of a buried treasure. [Fry Reading Level - 2.6
