The Double Cousins and the Mystery of the Missing Watch: A Giveaway!!

Posted by Karin | 0 comments

We often get asked for book recommendations for young boys. It isn’t always easy to find a wholesome book that is entertaining enough to capture a young boy’s attention, particularly if you are looking for one that supports the Christian and family values that you are trying to instill. Thankfully the Double Cousins and the Mystery of the Missing Watch by Miriam Jones Bradley seems to fit the bill.

When double cousins (siblings from one family who marry the siblings of another family making their children double cousins) Max Rawson and Carly Johnson along with their siblings Dorie, Chad, and Molly, arrive at their grandparent’s ranch for their annual visit, they are given a surprise request by their grandfather: to uncover what happened to his grandfather’s twin brother, Zachary, who left home and headed west to seek adventure and fortune—but never came back. The only clue is a pocket watch Grandpa has that matches the one Zachary carried. Will they be able to discover what happened? And what about the sudden arrival of a new hired man, Slim, who is unusually quiet and has an unusual background to match? As the cousins seek answers to these questions they learn valuable lessons about forgiveness and acceptance.

This book has the right combination of adventure, suspense, cliff hangers and wholesome values. This is a great chapter book read-aloud or book for reluctant readers.

We have 1 copy to giveaway for the lucky reader who would like to share some of her children’s favorite chapter books in the comments below. Entries will be accepted until Friday 9/9 at 10:00pm eastern. If you are viewing this post on Facebook, you must enter your comment on the actual post here.
