Katie has always liked puzzles and mysteries. An avid reader, she has always been drawn to the detective themed books. But, as Christmas was approaching, she finds herself thrown into a real life mystery: The check with the funds for the charity has gone missing from the headmaster's office. Everyone is willing to blame the first suspect they encounter, but it's up to Katie to find the truth. Can she do it before the Christmas Pageant on Monday?
This is one of two books written as Christmas presents for my two young daughters. They were both written in a period of three hours, on the high speed train trip back to Madrid from Marbella, Spain. I had no spellcheck in English, no way to print it out and check the format, and could not wait to revise it upon arriving. Had I not gotten it sent in immediately, the books would not have arrived on time for Christmas.
Now I feel that the small errors are part of the books’ charm, taking me back to that train ride, and our two little girls asking me what I was working on, glancing at my mini computer screen. “Oh, just work” I’d answer, smiling, as I changed screens to something else. And the memory of how much it meant to them to have their own book, written for them.
