Mystery Rider
Miralee Ferrell
- Reading
- Read together if your child enjoys solving mysteries: pause to consider what Kate knows, what she is guessing, and what would count as a clue. Let their response to the suspense set the pace.
- Themes
- Mystery and uncertainty: The plot places Kate between a sudden change in Melissa’s behaviour and the unexplained appearance of a hooded rider. These uncertainties are presented as the questions that drive the mystery; the summary does not settle how the clues are resolved.
- Worth knowing
- A hooded rider who appears and disappears, and the possibility that something more dangerous is happening, give the mystery a suspenseful edge.
