This week I'm featuring The Secret of Moonrise Manor: A Raven Gallows Mystery by Stephanie Bearce. This is a fun middle grade mystery. I loved all of the Edgar Allan Poe references.
Raven Gallows lives in a funeral home and is determined to become a famous detective. Her first case is one close to home—find the truth surrounding her mother’s puzzling death six years ago.
When a mummified man is discovered behind a wall at the Moonrise Manor Hotel, Raven is shocked to see that the body is clutching her mother’s gold and silver locket.
Raven gathers her friends—Cosmina Wilde, who thinks she can talk to ghosts; Miles Farnsworth, who works at the haunted hotel; and Eric Wong, who possesses unparalleled computer skills—and sets out to learn the identity of the mummy. As they follow the clues, they discover more than they bargained for, including a stash of stolen art and a legend of a secret society.
The Secret of Moonrise Manor is a story about family, friendship, and the courage it takes to pursue the truth.
