Hot off cracking his first official case, Frankie Dupont is on the scene when his new teacher takes ill. The pint-sized detective suspects a classic case of sour grapes, but the evidence leads him to the one place he wouldn’t mind avoiding for the rest of his natural life.
Enderby Manor has a few more secrets up her sleeve, and as Frankie begins to unravel them, he uncovers a plot stinkier than a sardine sandwich.
In Book 2 of the Frankie Dupont Mysteries, Frankie will make some new friends, upset some old ones, and of course, there will be lemon meringue pie.
For ages 8-12
My Review
This is the second Frankie Dupont Mystery that I have read. Though the first one was very cute, I liked this one even more. I read so many books that it took me a little while to remember all of the characters from book 1, but once I did I easily got back into the flow of things.
Frankie’s dad is an investigator, so of course, Frankie has a nose for finding clues too. When a lemon pie makes the new head teacher ill and Frankie’s dog refuses to eat any of the spilled pie, Frankie knows it must be poison! Frankie, his cousin Kat, and a new friend Amy are on the case! On a class field trip to the lemon orchard (where the pie happened to originate!), Frankie finds some suspicious activity. Will the bad guys get away with poisoning the pie or will Frankie bring the bad guy to justice? Read Frankie Dupont and the Lemon Festival Fiasco to find out!
This is such a cute book with endearing characters. Your young reader will love reading about Frankie and his friends as they solve mysteries. I highly recommend you get these for your kids! They’ll make a reader out of any reluctant reader.
This sounds like a book that my 10 year old would like. He is into books like this, so I will have to get him a copy!
This definitely looks like a book right up my daughter’s alley. We are going away this weekend, and I think I’ll definitely order it for her to read on our trip. Thanks so much!
it seems to be really a nice book. I never heard about this book but it seems to be intresstning. i will look for it.thanx for the review
Sounds like a cute book. I am always on the lookout for new books for the kids and this sounds perfect.
Great book! I know kids love these type of detective books. Thanks for the review!
I bet my two children would love this book! They love anything with adventure and mystery. Right now they’re both reading Harry Potter books!
I would definitley buy this book for my nephew and niece. They would love the idea of clues. Thanks for sharing!
I have such a hard time finding things that my younger son wants to read! He tends to like non-fiction books but I think he will like this one!
My little guy would love this! He is only five (will be 6 at the end of July), but it seems like it is perfect for him!
This sounds like a book my son would really enjoy. It’s exactly the type of thing he loves to read!
Sounds like a fun book. My kids aren’t old enough to read yet so this is something I will have to save for much later down the road! Thanks for sharing!
Awww how cute is this book, I have not done a book review or read a book in a while now. Thanks for the reminder I need to get back to reading.
The concept of a kiddie detective looks so cool. It would be interesting to follow his adventures.
This sounds like an awesome book my little great nephew would so love to read. He loves stories like this one with mystery. Thanks for sharing.
I think my six year old cousin would love this book. She’s big into her reading at the moment 🙂
This sounds like a good book. My nephew is just the right age for it and he likes these types of books.
Few years from now.. I bet this would be something that my niece would get to read and enjoy as well. Very interesting plot.
This sounds like exactly the kind of book that my nephews would enjoy – I’m going to recommend it when I see them this weekend!
