I’ve been having trouble finding fiction that my son enjoys. It’s either babyish or not interesting. Mike Fowler has changed that for us. He’s a character in the Last Chance Detective series written by Robert Vernon. Mike and his group of friends have made their way into my son’s afternoons. He’s been reading the review copy of their eighth adventure “The Curse of Calamity Wells” and enjoyed it. An action-packed, faith-filled middle grade kids’ book. He finds the adventure and the close friendships in the book exciting, while I appreciate the biblical truths written into the story.
About the Book
The Last Chance Detectives book series is an exciting blend of action, adventure, and mystery. Set in the fictional Southwest town of Ambrosia, the four young detectives—Mike, Winnie, Ben, and Spence—use an old B-17 bomber as their clubhouse, where they work to solve cases and learn spiritual truths along the way.
Mike Fowler’s father has been missing for years. In this final volume, will the Last Chance Detectives learn the truth behind their biggest mystery?
When some important government officials show up at the Last Chance Diner, it seems like all hope is lost. Then Mike discovers along-lost note in his father’s handwriting, and the young detectives embark on what could be their most dangerous adventure yet.
Mike, Ben, and Spence head out to the desert, to a place that Winnie’s grandmother says is cursed: the old mining town of Calamity Wells. Winnie stays behind at first, but when an old foe shows up it becomes clear that the four friends will have to work together to solve this mystery—and to stay alive.
