[.ca] The Absent Author (ISBN 0679881689)

The best mystery:
I gave this book five stars because it was a mystery book that the kids are looking for a absent author. They thik she is a boy. I like it that way because you really do not know what is happening so you are wondering were the absent author is. Then once you now some clues you could find the author.

The Best Book I've ever read!:
The book is about a boy,Dink, and he asked his favorite mystery author to come to Green Lawn and sign books at the Book Nook. Dink asked his friends Josh and Ruth Rose to come with him to meet the author. When they got there, there was a sign the said, "welcome Willas Wallos!" But the chair in back of the sign was empty. Read the rest and see for you self!

The Absent Author by Jade, Geneva NY:
Have you ever invited a famous person to visit you who accepted the invation and strangely never showed up?Well Dink has! The Absent Author is Dink and Ruth Roses' favorite author.The author's name is Wallis Wallace.Dink invited him to the Book Nook and Wallis accepted it to sign books.All of the kids meet at the Book Nook and Wallis never showed up.Dink thought he was kidnapped because of the letter they got.Its a mystery where and who the Author really was.I think the book is really interesting because its a mystery book.Also because the kids were acting like detectives.The absent author was suspenseful.It also made me think.I really think that you should buy this because how much intersting stuff is in it.

The Absent Author Book Review:
This book was pretty good.It made sence,but it wasn't the best book I've ever read .I would reccomend it to a third or fourth grader, because it's about their reading level. The Absent Author was sort of exciting, but not really....

Big thumbs up from Mom...:
This mystery book is about 3 children, Dink, Josh and Ruth Rose, who follow clues to track down a missing famous author. I read this book to my 2 daughters ages 8 and 5. They both loved it. My 5 year old normally has a hard time paying attention to chapter books but SHE was the one begging for "just one more chapter" each night when it was time to put the book down. This morning she asked me if we could start the "B" book tonight!!! My 8 year old packed the book to take with her to school to read herself during DEAR today! I would say it's a hit all around!
