A Long Way from Welcome

A book for middle-grade readers who enjoy mysteries

Maggie fears both cities and change. But when her widowed mother remarries and their home in Welcome, Indiana is being renovated, Maggie is sent to spend the summer in Paris with her new stepfather’s sister—a nun!! New friends and mysterious happenings unfold for Maggie as she catches the rhythm of life happening . . . a long way from Welcome.

Small-town Maggie and city-born-and-raised Jean-Louis team up in Paris, France to match wits with phantom criminals they've never met—or have they?

Beneath the mystery plot we feel the author’s sensitivity to adolescent insecurity and loneliness in the midst of family upheaval.
