Stories for Children Magazine 5 Star Review
REVIEWED BY: Wayne S. Walker

Nine-year-old Christina and her seven-year-old brother Grant, along with their grandmother Mimi and grandfather Papa, are visiting on the Louisville, KY, horse farm of their friend, ten-year-old Sara, and her family.Tanner, Sara's twelve-year-old cousin, is also there.Mimi and Papa had brought their grandchildren to Louisville for the Kentucky Derby, but mysterious things begin to happen.First, a horse belonging to Sara's dad disappears, and then two jockeys are missing.Something strange is going on!The four children look for clues that will help them solve the mystery and save the race.

Carole Marsh began writing mysteries for children in 1979.She decided to set her books in real places, where people could go and visit after reading the story, and use real people.In her first books, she used her own children, Michele and Michael, as the main characters and recruited a couple of kids from the book's location.In her later books, the main characters are her grandchildren, Christina and Grant, who accompany their grandmother as she does research for her books.Marsh wanted to produce books that were both educational and fun.I think that she has admirably succeeded.

I had heard of the Carole Marsh Mysteries and seen them recommended before but never read any until this one.We were visiting at a state park in Kentucky, and this one was offered for sale in the gift shop, so I bought it to have something to read.I was glad that I did.It is Number 15 out of at least 16, but the back cover says, "Kids, read all 16 books in any order!"It was very interesting to learn a little about Churchill Downs, the Kentucky Derby Museum, the Louisville Slugger Museum, the Belle of Louisville, and the Falls of the Ohio as described in the book.In addition, there are several follow-up activities in the back of the book.I like mysteries, and I really enjoyed this one.

great book for kids!
Mimi and Papa are invited to the Kentucky Derby, and they take Grant and Christina along.They get to see the track, the horses, rub elbows with the horsey-set and enjoy the fun of the pre-Derby spirit.But then strange things start to happen.A race horse vanishes, followed by the disappearance of two jockeys.Suddenly, Grant and Christine are racing to solve the mystery before the fastest 2 minutes happens.

This is a great interactive book for kids.With the Derby just past, it's will be super fun for the kiddies wanting to make the feeling last.A wonderful gift. ... Read more

A truly unique educator pushed E. KY. into the 20th and 21st century
There is/was only 1 Leo Weddle.He was not in the profession to get rich or famous, he was there to have major positive effects on his students by giving them tools they could use the rest of there lifes.His wife was cut from the same cloth as an educator (check out her book as well LAURA WEDDLE).But Leo was a loving family man, a lover of art and antiques (many times I tried to talk him out of a lamp or two).HIS KEY TO BEING THE EDUCATOR HE WAS?LOVE.He truly loved being a college professor AND each young adult his life touched.It has been 40
years since I was one of the students he moved thru the 1960's/70's, but his mindset touches me daily even 40 years later.

THIS BOOK IS A must READ FOR TEACHERS, or anyone in education.But just as life never limited Leo, don't think it is just for education related audiences. Any person can be touched, moved and learn more about an approach to life from Mr. Weddle.

BUY THIS BOOK!!!
