Ginger Pye by Eleanor Estes

4.0

Another Sonlight read-aloud...Aurora loved the dog. I loved the characters. But I didn't love the tangents and the repetition. I know that the tangents and repetition are literary devices, and I recognized that they were well-used, AND Aurora loved it. But, as a read-aloud, it was tiring.

The book *is* a great introduction to mystery books, as a genre. There were tons of hints and foreshadowing, just at the right level for Aurora to start figuring things out but also to be surprised by the ending.
