Synopsis

Overall, those who loved Penny Parker overlooked her casual ways and flippant speech. These largely resulted from her dad having taught her to think straight. She sometimes had to wait a few minutes before gathering sufficient courage to continue battling whatever setbacks might come her way. Her mother died when Penny was only a three-year-old child, but she was, as she said, “on my own, with a vengeance.” This largely resulted from the loving care of her newspaper owner/editor father, Anthony Parker, who never remarried. Join the multitude of other faithful listeners. Other Penny Parker stories will be available as time passes.

Louise, Penny’s best friend says, “It’s amazing how you get into so much adventure.” That’s what I was thinking as I read this third novel in the Penny Parker Mystery series. Penny’s knack for finding adventure is what makes these books so much fun to read. She’s pretty good at finding trouble too. P......more

This is the third in the Penny Parker detective series and my second attempt to get on with Mildred Wirt's favorite character (a girl detective that Wirt apparently thought was "a better Nancy Drew than Nancy is". If she says so... I didn't think much of Penny when I first met her in Behind the Gree......more

Take a millionaire who has disappeared, his publicity-shy dragon of a wife and a runaway groom, and you’ve got the makings of an exceptional mystery. Young Penny Parker, growing into her rôle as a sometime cub reporter for her dad’s newspaper the Riverview Star, heads to the nuptials of Sylvia Kippen......more

I can't say enough good things about this book! They did an excellent job making a realistic 16 girl character. It had me laughing at times, worried for characters, on the edge of my seat, and the plot was interesting all the way through. I'll admit I caught onto a major to a part of the plot early......more
