Summary: Secrets on 26th Street
Comment: This book was written by Elizabeth McDavid Jones. I would give this book five stars. Secrets on 26th Street was a historical mystery. A historical mystery is a book about real things that happened in the past, but have included a mystery. It takes place in 1914 when the suffrage problem was going on. There is a secret that Bea is hiding from Susan O' Neal and her two sisters. Bea is a boarder, which is someone who pays someone to live with them and help pay the rent. Susan's mother disappears and Susan decides that the disappearance of her mother has something to do with Bea's secret. To find out more read Secrets on 26th Street. I think you will like it!

Summary: Another Very Good History Mystery
Comment: This is another very good entry in the "history mystery" series. I've seen it called the best one, although my daughter didn't like it quite as much as "The Smuggler's Treasure" or "Shadows In The Glasshouse". She connected emotionally with Susan, the 11-year-old girl who is the main character, and with the other people in the story. Much of the plot, however, is connected with the women's suffrage movement, which is perhaps a bit difficult for a 21st century ten-year-old to relate to.
"Secrets On 26th Street" takes place in New York in 1914. Susan's widowed mother takes a boarder into their small apartment to help pay the rent. It soon becomes apparent to Susan that there is more to Bea than meets the eye. When Susan's mother mysteriously disappears, Susan is convinced that Bea knows more than she is telling.
This is another good story for young girls. It has an good plot and engaging characters. Informative historical background information is woven in, as well. The historical information is dwelt on a bit too much in this particular book, but overall it is another solid entry in an excellent series. Recommended highly to kids and their parents.
