Synopsis

Lonely and a long way from her Iowa home, twelve-year-old Jeri McKane reacts to boarding school the way most middle schoolers would. Even with close friends, she wonders whether her scholarship to prestigious Landmark School was worth it. She’s tempted to give up when her Mom can’t make parents’ weekend, and the school bus carrying her roommate, Rosa, disappears. But this reporter for the sixth-grade newspaper has an eye like Nancy Drew and more faith and courage than she realizes. Jeri solves the mystery—and makes landmark decisions to trust God and his Word through circumstances and feelings that don’t make sense.

This is the first in the Faithgirlz boarding school mysteries. Jeri wants to be an investigative reporter but she didn't think the first case she would have to solve would be the disappearance of a school van with six students and a teacher in it. One of the students is her roommate Rosa. Jeri is a......more

This book was okay. It was a freebie for the Kindle but I didn't realize that it was mostly geared for middle school kids. It was a good story but not something that I would read again.

Loved the series when I was younger-the plot, characters, and mysteries never failed to please.
