Really Truly

By Heather Vogel Frederick
Really Truly by Heather Vogel Frederick digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The Pumpkin Falls Private Eyes grapple with pirates and mermaids in the third cozy mystery of the Edgar Award–nominated middle grade series from the author of the beloved Mother-Daughter Book Club books.

Truly Lovejoy is excited for the perfect summer in Pumpkin Falls, New Hampshire: swim practice outside, working at the bookstore, one-on-one time with her mom, and best of all, time with the dreamy RJ Calhoun who may just like Truly back. But the idyllic falls apart when she’s sent off to mermaid academy—sparkly tail and all.

Luckily, a mystery is never too far behind the Pumpkin Falls Private Eyes, and synchronized swimming turns into a hunt for a sunken ship and an investigation of the founding of Pumpkin Falls…which may have involved more pirates than originally thought.

And as the Pumpkin Falls Private Eyes get closer to the heart of the mystery and Truly gets closer to her mermaid debut, she may just learn to come out of her shell.

Slightly Smiling Face“The third book in the Pumpkin Falls Mystery series has Truly doing all sorts of things she never dreamed of doing during her summer break. All she wanted was to hang out and work at the bookstore, but her cousin, Mackenzie, ropes her into going to Mermaid Academy. While there, she discovers a secret about her ancestor that could lead her to something incredible, but she has to beat an outsider to it first. I enjoy these books. This one is quite long at almost 400 pages, and there were times when it felt as if the story was going off on tangents, but it all came together in the end. I look forward to the next book.”

“Here's the thing: these are, by and large, lovely reads. But the dad! I get that different families have different dynamics, but the dad is sooo strict and it's just accepted! Her mom makes the barest of protests but definitely doesn't advocate for her kids. The aunt is really the only one who does! I'm going to keep reading, but man. That dad is making me crazy.”
“This series is really cute. I want to go to mermaid camp!”
“I was skeptical of mermaid camp just like Truly was, but it turned out to be a great setting. It also gave her what she needed to solve the mystery. I really enjoy Truly’s voice and all of the Pumpkin Falls Private Eyes!”
