THE RED BLAZER GIRLS: The Mistaken Masterpiece
Sophie, Margaret, Becca, and Leigh Ann are back in an all-new Red Blazer Girls caper. In the third installment, Sophie is nose to fist with her arch-rival, Livvy, all while taking care of movie-star Nate Etan's dog, when Father Julian hires the Blazers to help him authenticate a painting. Mayhem and mystery follows as the girls attempt to uncover the truth. Oh, and, uh, Sophie's friend-who-is-not-a-boyfriend, Raf, is back. . . . Here's another charming and engaging adventure starring these four every-girl sleuths that's perfect for readers 10-up.
" What holds everything together is Sophie's funny first-person narration, cleverly plotted mysteries that (in some cases) readers can solve, and, here, the added panache of celebrities who aren't just dreamy; they're nice. Clearly-and happily-there's plenty to keep the girls sleuthing for a long time."
"...[Sophie] and her pals piece together the increasingly complex painting puzzle in a frenzied finale."
