Minerva Clark Goes to the Dogs
by Karen KarboSomething strange happened to Minerva Clark when she was almost electrocuted by her older brother: her insecurities were zapped right out of her, and in their place appeared a sassy new confidence. No longer shy or self-conscious, Minerva goes where most thirteen-year-olds wouldn't dare--like behind the line of yellow crime-scene tape, or wherever a new mystery rears its head. So when annoying rich girl Chelsea de Guzman pleads with Minerva to help her find a missing diamond, Minerva can't resist. Before long, Minerva is crashing a movie set to get close to a suspect, spying on an animal-loving lunatic, and doing her dogged best to foil a number of serious plots. From kidnapping to jewel heists, Minerva's wits are put to the test as she tries to get her man--or perhaps his dog?
Minerva's Voyage
by Lynne KositskyCommended for the 2011 Best Books for Kids and Teens Robin Starveling, aka Noah Vaile, is scooped off the streets of seventeenth-century Bristol, England, and dragged onboard a ship bound for Virginia by the murderous William Thatcher, who needs a servant with no past and no future to aid him in a nefarious plot to steal gold. Starveling fits the bill perfectly since he lives nowhere and has no parents. Aboard the ship, Starveling makes friends with a young cabin boy, Peter Fence. Together the two boys suffer through a frightening hurricane and are shipwrecked on the mysterious Isle of Devils. They solve the ciphers embedded in emblems found in Thatchers sea chest, which has washed up with the wreck, then make their way through gloomy forests and tortuous labyrinths to a cave on the shore that houses a wizard-like old man. Beset by danger and villainy on every side, they finally discover the old mans identity and unearth a treasure that is much rarer and finer than gold.
