Juicy Quote:
Ruth Rose always dressed in one color. Today’s color was lime green, from her headband down to her sneakers. “Come on, Josh, she went on. “It’ll be fun!”
“Eating is fun,” Josh said, popping the last of his sandwich into his mouth.
Summary:
Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose were best friends. One day, they went to Penelope Gwinn’s concert in an amusement park. When it was break time, they went to get a hot dog, and went on a ride on the carousel, while Gwinn was signing autograph books.

In the news, it announced that Gwinn’s penguin necklace was stolen when she was signing the autograph books! Who stole the penguin necklace? Did the thief leave any clues? Who got the necklace back? Who found out the thief? How did people find out who’s the thief? Read this book to find out all the answers you’ve been wondering!
Exciting part:
The exciting part of this story was when Penelope Gwinn’s penguin necklace was stolen. It was very exciting, because the necklace was valuable, because in the middle of the penguin, there was a diamond.


Connection:
This book is sort of like A to Z Mysteries---The T-Rex Mystery by Ron Roy. The two books all have something valuable stolen.
Recommendation:
I recommend this book to readers who like mysteries. It’s a good example to look at how to write a story and it has lots of ideas.
About the author:

He lives in a very old farmhouse in Connecticut with his dog, Pal. When he’s not writing about his favorite kids who live in Green Lawn, and Washington, D.C., Ron spends time restoring his house, gardening, and traveling all over the country.
