The Inway Investigators or, The mystery at McCracken's place

0/5 ( ratings)

My first real mystery for kids, based on the little town–Conway, Massachusetts–where we then lived. There had been a rash of pet thefts and this was my take on it. Allan Eitzen who did the cover and some interior illustrations would later illustrate my poetry anthology, ALPHABESTIARY. The opening paragraph came from an ad on the car radio that I heard while driving my kids to school. And one of the characters was based on the real estate dealer who sold us our first house. Be careful, dear readers, and never annoy a writer, or you may find yourselves artfully enshrined in a book. - Jane Yolen
