Donna Wren Carson’s “Ghost in the Turret” is commended by the US Review of Books as a “sweet story with dual mysteries”

Donna Wren Carson has received positive feedback from the US Review of Books for her work, Ghost in the Turret.

There is beauty in what is hidden, mysterious, or subtle, but that beauty is only realized when a person makes some effort to scratch the surface, is willing to read between the lines, and sincerely listens to what is not being said. Mysteries often tickle a person’s heart. They elicit the feeling of being excited to know what is left unknown, the feeling of being challenged, and the feeling of being needed as a seeker. 

Jordana Landsman from the US Review of Books commended Ghost in the Turret as “The third in the LAS Mysteries series, this story follows a well-loved literary pattern of spunky, self-motivated kid detectives who seek to answer questions and fulfill justice in their local world. Reminiscent of favorite series like Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, and Magic Tree House, the sleuths here use their wits, resources, and tenacity to solve their mystery.”

The reviewer stressed that “…this is overall a sweet story with dual mysteries fueling its engine and a crew of assertive, appealing characters whose company kids will likely enjoy”. 

The Mystery of Grimly Manor and An Adventure in Arizona are also part of her LAS Mysteries series, Ghost in the Turret is book 3. The three best friends, Leira, Addy, and Skye, are recurring characters in the stories, which incorporate themes of adventure and mystery while depicting realistic young teens and family values.
