Can you believe it's already December?  Nope, your eyes are not deceiving you. Cia has been super busy, but luckily for me, she'd already chosen the December CSR, and now it's my turn to help her out!  Hopefully in between all your holiday activities, you'll be able to find time to read this story, set in 1948!  The discussion day will finish out the year here in the blogs, and will be on December 31st!  If you haven't read anything by Geron Kees yet, now is a great time to start!  Hope you enjoy and we look forward to seeing you on New Years Eve to discuss The House of Storms.

 

The House of Storms

by Geron Kees

 

Length: 56,882

 

Description: It's 1948. Teens Frank and Joe Dane, sons of nationally famous private detective Ben Dane, are enjoying their summer vacation. But then their dad asks them to come along on a little trip up the coast, to a tourist town where strange things have been happening...and the boys are off on a mysterious case with two friends in tow.

Events take an immediate turn for the worse as it soon becomes obvious that someone is out to stop the investigation...someone willing to use any means at his disposal to win!

An homage to the Hardy Boys adventures that some of us read as kids, except that in this one, the boys are...um, well...you'll see.

 

A reader said:  Didn't know anything about the Hardy Boys - maybe they never made it across the pond. However, that didn't detract from my enjoyment of this story that moved along at a rapid and, at times, very tense pace but also with an amazing amount of detail. Indeed it is a magical story! ~Ivor Slipper

 

Don't forget this month's Discussion Day will be Monday, December 31st

I will do so. I am visiting family in Amsterdam for Sint Nicholaas Day just now; but we will be flying home this coming Sunday. After that, I will try to be to class every day...I promise! :)
