I read Closed For the Season by Mary Downing Hahn. This great book is about a boy named Logan who moved in Mrs. Donaldson’s house. But there’s a little twist, Mrs. Donaldson was killed in her own house. Logan’s neighbor,Arthur, told him about the Magic Forest, an old amusement park has been closed for years. The Magic Forest is so important because Mrs. Donaldson used to work there for years until she died.
ReplyDeleteLogan and Arthur are trying to track down the killer. Or will the killer track them down first?
I recommend this book for people who like reading mystery books.

I read Closed for the Season by Mary Downing Hahn. Thirteen-year-old Logan and his family move into an old rundown house. Logan didn’t know that the old owner Mrs. Donaldson was murdered in the house. Logan became great friends with his new neighbor Arthur. It’s a life-threatening quest to uncover the killer. I recommend you read this book.

CLOSED FOR THE SEASON is about Logan Forbs who moves to Virginia and he meets Arthur Jankins. Arthur tells Logan about the murder in his house of Mrs. Donaldson which is a mystery. Later in the book they look for evidence in the town library, and they work together as a team to solve the mystery. I would recommend this book to someone who likes long lasting chapters about the mystery. I liked this because of who the murderer was.
