One of my friends has her second book out.
Mystery on Pine Lake: Cooper & Packrat, by Tamra Wight
And it's really cute, really good; perfect for kids who love to read, explore and have a wonderful active imagination. So many adults (myself included) have fallen in love with Cooper:
"....Cooper thought living at a campground would be cool. But ever since his parents bought the lakeside campground, he’s had more chores and less time to explore. And as if babysitting his little sister and cleaning the bathrooms weren't bad enough, his ex-friend Roy has chosen him as this summer’s bullying target. Cooper’s only bright spot this summer is his new friend, Packrat, a guy who carries the world in his coat pockets and leaves his troubles behind. But trouble has come to the Wilder Family Campground and Pine Lake, where a family of loons is building a nest...."

Congrats Tamra! xoxo!
