“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.” ~Madeleine L’Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time Quintet

                                              Please join the four Botanic Hill Detectives as they find themselves entangled in one hair-raising mystery after another, often in or near their beautiful coastal Pacific hometown of Las Palmitas, in sun-drenched Southern California. Won’t you help them as they attempt to conquer venomous snakes, blackmailers, thieves, cursed gemstones, and secret passages?

 

Adventures await you!
