The Mystery of the Missing Falls By Jen Weaver and Gayle Veitenheimer

Happy Monday!! Welcome to my stop on the tour for The Mystery of the Missing Falls presented by The Children’s Book Review. They kindly provided a copy of the book and all opinions are my own.


About the book

Luka and Ember are ready to put their new detective agency on the map, and the town’s oldest unsolved mystery might be just the case to do it. When cousins Jake and Callie — who are at odds with each other — join the investigation, the young detectives set out to uncover the truth behind the missing falls, help mend an age-old family feud, and discover an unexpected tool along the way: prayer.

Blending high-stakes sleuthing and page-turning adventure with the questions kids really ask about God, The Mystery of the Missing Falls invites young readers to discover that prayer is more than talking to God — it’s part of an ongoing relationship with a God who speaks, listens, and meets them in everyday life.

Review

Fifth graders Luka and his cousin Ember want to start a detective agency and in their first case they need to solve a mystery that no one else has solved in the towns history.

This book is the first in a Christian mystery series for upper elementary kids. It would be a great book for church youth book clubs as it contains an adventure and teaches religious aspects with a large focus on talking with Jesus. It is a very relatable story with a treasure hunt and kids navigating new and old friendships. 

If you love solving mysteries this would be a great book series to start!

About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure.

Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il...
