Andi Under Pressure by Amanda Flower

While at a Science camp Andi and Colin encounter another mystery. Someone is sabotaging the camp and putting the blame on the janitor. Andi and Colin hide around corners to listen in on mysterious conversations trying to find out who is behind the incidents that keep occurring.

I enjoyed ANDI UNDER PRESSURE. I would say this is a cozy elementary age mystery. There were a few twists and turns, family angst and even some humor mixed in that made this a fun and entertaining read. This is the 2nd book in the Andi Boggs series and I look forward to reading more in the future.

The Berenstain Bears Blessed are the Peacemakers by Mike Berenstain

As with all of the Berenstain Bears books there are lessons to be learned. In this book Brother and Sister Bear help to keep the peace between Too-Tall's gang and Ferdy Factual's friends. Too-Tall's jealousy almost has the whole school brawling during the popular school play of Romeo and Grizzliet. But thanks to the peacemaking skills of Brother, Sister and a few of the parents the crisis is avoided and the play is a success. And while Too-Tall and Ferdy's groups may not be the best of friends, at least now they are managing to get along.

I'm a total fan of the Berenstain Bears books. I read them to our daughters when they were young and I am now reading them to our grandchildren. I love the lessons taught in each one. I didn't realize that Stan and Jan Berenstain had both passed away and their son is now writing the books. I'm glad that the tradition is being carried on and that Brother and Sister will still continue to share important life lessons with our children today. I also liked that on the back cover page there are activities and questions that help children apply the lesson learned.

Thanks to the publisher Zonderkids through BookLook Bloggers for my copy of the book. All opinions are my own.
