review 1: A fun and semi-mysterious story that reminds us that rich people in the early 1900s had problems, too. I.e., Losing their ritzy summer home because it's getting a bit stressful. I'm kidding. It was a fun book, and I know I would have loved it in early elementary school. Samantha was my favorite as a kid, and she is a smart, heroic, and fun character for young girls to read about. I do hope that American Girl soon releases some books that highlight the value racial diversity and encourage young girls to think outside of their own stories!
review 2: A Samantha MysterySamantha can't wait to take Nellie to Piney Point, Grandmary's summer home in the mountains. Samantha is sure Nellie will love the lodge as much as she does. But the girls arrive to find Piney Point ... moreplagued with accidents - and Grandmary thinking of selling. Samantha and Nellie have to figure out what's going on before they lose Piney Point forever!About The Author:Barbara Steiner started writing stories and poetry when she was eight years old. Her favorite books were mysteries, and sometimes, all alone in a big house, she'd scare herself reading. She has hiked and backpacked all over the world. She has ridden elephants in India and climbed into tombs in Egypt. She has claustrophobia but loves to explore caves. Her motto is "Do something once a year that scares you." She has published many books for children and young adults, including an American Girl History Mystery, Mystery at Chilkoot Pass. Her book Ghost Cave, set in her home state of Arkansas, was nominated for the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Children's Mystery. She now lives in Boulder, Colorado, with her three cats.I loved every minute of this book. It kept you interested in the story the whole way to the end. I can't get enough of these American Girl mysteries, it doesn't matter who wrote them they all have a way of pulling you into the story so that the reader almost feels like you're right there in the story. less
