A Newbery Honor Book "An irresistible Southern narrator--a literary descendant of Scout Finch of To Kill a Mockingbird." --Newsday Rising sixth grader Miss Moses LoBeau lives in the small town of Tupelo Landing, NC, where everyone's business is fair game and no secret is sacred. She washed ashore in a hurricane eleven years ago, and she's been making waves ever since. Although Mo hopes someday to find her "upstream mother," she's found a home with the Colonel--a caf owner with a forgotten past of his own--and Miss Lana, the fabulous caf hostess. She will protect those she loves with every bit of her strong will and tough attitude. So when a lawman comes to town asking about a murder, Mo and her best friend, Dale Earnhardt Johnson III, set out to uncover the truth in hopes of saving the only family Mo has ever known.

Well written introduction to a mystery solving and funny duo of characters.
Carol B. - 6 years 5 months agoThis is the first book in the series about a girl named Mo that solves mysteries with her best friend. This series is set in a small town in the deep south. There is humor imbedded throughout the story. Excellent series for upper elementary students. This is well written and fun to read!
