Seven Clues
by Kathy Stinson
Matt Randall was bored. It was summer vacation, all his friends were away and there was nothing--NOTHING--to do in Pebble Creek...until he received his mystery postcard!
Matt is bored. It's summer vacation, all his friends are away, and there is nothing -- NOTHING -- to do in Pebble Creek ... until he receives a clue to a mystery!
"There's something you should look for. It will bring you great pleasure. Not coins in a pirate's chest but a different sort of treasure."
A treasure? In Pebble Creek? That's crazy, thinks Matt, and if he wasn't so bored, he'd throw away the postcard. But he doesn't, and one mysterious clue leads to another ... Seven Clues is an engaging mystery story packed with all the excitement of a buried treasure. [Fry Reading Level - 2.6
