The Mystery of the Silver Statue (The B.T. and Jimmy Adventure Series) Paperback – August 1, 2011

fun read for young and old

Ray Perkins was my middle school social studies teacher. He is very creative in using local places in his writing. His own experiences with his son also contribute a great deal to this wonderful story of 2 boys.

I just finished The Mystery of The Silver Statue by Ray Perkins It filled me with nostalgia for the days before cell phones and laptops when the smell of ink from my pen was the best thing in the world. It brought me back to the days of the Hardy Boys and Harriet the Spy. This is a great read for young ages, especially young Vermont readers as the story is about an old Abenaki legend.

My 3rd and 4th graders were on the ends of their seats, listening to the adventures of these two Vermont boys. Woven into the adventure were Vt. history facts and events of our past that were intriguing and fun. Can't wait for the sequel!!
