The Dead Man in Indian Creek

I absolutely love Mary Downing Hahn books, starting in the fifth grade when I first read Wait till Helen Comes. That seriously is one of the BEST books I have ever read. So then after that book, I read A Doll in the Garden. Those two books were so good, but then at the time there were barely any of her books there at my school, so I didn't really get to read much more of her work. But then when I went to middle school I went under her name and found this book. I read it and it was awesome. In the story, Parker and Matt, first started out bored and decided to go camping.... while they were there, Otis, Parker's dog, pulled on something, and it turned out to be a leg. After one more tug, they found out its a body. I would recommend this book to a teen, despite the reading leve, because it deals with alot of that kind of stuff.

Dead Man in Indian Creek is a short mysterious mysery that will keep you reading! I just read this book and enjoyed the characters and the entertainment! I reccomed this book to big fans of myserys! I hope you take my advice and reed this book.

The story Dead Man On Indian Creek was a great book for people ages 10-14. I thought this was both funny and scary. And it actually shows what a son would actually do for his single, hard-working mother. This story was about two boys who love to go hiking and are best ffriend's. But Peter's mom goes out with a guy who looks and acts very supicious and when they find a guy dead on indian creek they think they know who did it.And when they go and tell Peter's mother she thinks there crazy. The setting was beautiful and perfect. It's great for a children's book. When you are reading to the description of the place you can paint a picture in your head of what they are doing. It also makes the story seem mmore realistic. I thinkthis is one of the best settings in a book I have ever read.

Matt and Parker find a dead man in Indian Creek while they're out camping.On the road beside the creek with the dead man was Mr.Evans, Parker's mom's boyfriend.The boys suspect him of killing the man.They go to the police and tell them everything.The police ask Mr.Evans some questions but don't beleive he's guilty.Now the boys have to find out what's going on.With them seeing Mr.Evans at the scene of the crime, and Parker's mom being away alot.

This is the best book that I have ever read! She is a great author, and should be known every where for her great books. I love the mystery, and I love the way she tells you so many details. You want to read on forever.
