New Book: Closed for the Season, by Mary Downing Hahn

When Logan Forbes moves to tiny Bealesville from Richmond, he is dismayed to be readily friended by the weirdest kid in town, Arthur, a poor boy who lives in the dilapidated house next door.  Arthur tells Logan that the previous owner of his new house had been found murdered at the bottom of the basement stairs.

As the two investigate the murder of Mrs. Donaldson and her links to an old amusement park that is soon to be demolished, they face many obstacles, including bullies and worse yet, the popular kids Logan's mom wants Logan to befriend.  Sidestepping interfering adults, Logan and Arthur must find a missing briefcase before the murderer does!

Recommended for fourth and fifth graders.
