Brief reviews and thoughts about children's and young adult books by Minnesota authors (or illustrators), or about Minnesota. If I get the urge, it may also include ideas for using the books in the classroom. The emphasis is on books published since 1995, but don't be surprised if an oldie-but-goodie slips in occasionally.

Skullduggery
Here we go, back to Bloodwater, Minnesota for the second of the Bloodwater Mysteries series. In this story, Roni Delicata and Brian Bain are trying to figure out what happened to local archaeologist Andrew Dart, who they found injured in a cave on Indian Mound. He was found lying atop a skeleton not far from the entrance to the cave. A few days later, someone used dynamite to close the cave entrance. Furthermore, a developer has plans to build condominiums on the site; and he seems to have a special deal going with the city fathers to make this development happen. What happened to Dr. Dart? Is the mound an indian burial ground? Mystery lovers will learn the answers to these and other questions as they enjoy this tale by Pete Hautman and Mary Logue.
