Secrets at the Chocolate Mansion: A Maggie Brooklyn Mystery
Ebook
Overview
Don’t miss the third book in the Maggie Brooklyn Mystery series, which Discovery Girls calls, “A barking good mystery."
"Take your cookies elsewhere.” That’s what the note said in neat, block-like print, attached to a box of Girl Scout Cookies. Someone is out to sabotage the new sweet shop in the neighborhood, and Maggie Brooklyn is on the case. If only she weren’t so freaked out herself lately. Maggie’s new babysitting gig has her and her twin brother Finn hanging out in what they fear may be a real haunted mansion. And it’s hard to solve real life mysteries when you think you’re seeing ghosts!

The third book in the Maggie Brooklyn Mysteries--with a ghostly twist!
In the tradition of Harriet the Spy and Nancy Drew, Maggie Brooklyn is both a clever detective and an everyday girl. A fresh, modern character to fall in love with!
Strong retail author track for Maggie and the Annabelle Unleashed series, with 350M+ of Boys are Dogs and 250M+ of Girls Acting Catty in club sales to Scholastic, too.
The third book’s the charm in a growing series. Each Maggie Brooklyn Mystery has the weight of a stand alone.
Margolis’s voice is right on age level, and she is building up conference and author appearances (NCTE 2012, and others).
Light Halloween theme: Ghost story is perfectly timed for halloween, but not so thematic as to be seasonal only.
While the well-crafted mysteries are foremost, it’s the relatable, witty protagonist that makes this novel stand out.
Maggie is a smart and competent heroine whose personal life is just as interesting as - if not more than - her detective work.
Maggie Brooklyn is a smart, funny, capable detective, and a real kid. Sequel, please.
There’s appeal galore here.
