‘My eyes kept travelling back to the exposed skulls. I imagined three bodies, buried standing upright, their feet deep in the earth. The hairs on the back of my neck began to rise and, for some reason, Ben Hermano’s name pushed its way into my head.’

If you have children who love a good mystery and adventure yarn the Eden Glassie mysteries are for you. As the story (Stone Circle) unfolds two mysteries are solved: a long ago murder and a present day robbery. Although the children take risks and help solve mysteries the story is not far-fetched. The two Eden Glassie mysteries available to date seem to be just what the young reader ordered and I would heartily recommend them to readers from middle to upper primary.
