What People are Saying:
Mallory's character jumps off the page with a spunkiness and imagination reminiscent of a young Nancy Drew. The story keeps the reader spellbound and intrigued with a perfect balance of scares and laughs appropriate for today's adolescents. The paranormal twist and budding relationship between Mallory, cousin Jo, and sister Susan set the stage for exciting adventures to come.
The Misadventures of Mallory Malo will have a broad appeal to youth while being a fun read for parents as well. In this young adult story, author Kenn Crawford creates a main character who is sympathetic and full of her own ideas, many of which she tries out by experiment. The supporting characters are realistic and well developed. Crawford has previously published a book of witty tales. His sense of humour comes through in The Misadventures of Mallory, along with an underlying spookiness. I greatly enjoyed the read and recommend the book to parents for their young readers.
