I read for the first time Benedict’s mysterious society in 2007, before I had kids, and I knew right away it would be a success.
Nearly twenty years later, I’m pretty happy with that prediction (I went back to listen to it with my kids a few years ago and we all loved it and even enjoyed the family TV series!).

With suspects to question, clues to follow, and puzzles intertwined throughout, it’s part mystery, part game, where every decision moves the story in a new direction.
Return home by Cynthia Voigt
I didn’t read this series until I was an adult and I loved every second of this story of four children abandoned by their mother who walk hundreds of miles to find a home. (They’re pretty long, so they’re great if you have hours and hours of time).
Greenglass House series by Kate Milford
Winter at Greenglass House is usually peaceful, but twelve-year-old Milo’s plans for a quiet vacation are dashed when guests start arriving one after another at the old smuggler’s inn. As strange stories emerge and things begin to disappear, Milo and the cook’s daughter, Meddy, are drawn into a layered mystery that leads them deeper into the house’s secrets. . . and themselves.
Regarding the Fountain series by Kate Klise
A hilarious epistolary mystery told through letters, memos, and official documents, this story begins with a simple leaky drinking fountain at Dry Creek Middle School that quickly escalates into a much larger upgrade request. What follows is a rapidly unfolding school-wide scandal, as a class of fifth graders discover secrets, suspicions, and much chaos hidden beneath the fountain.
Series 43 Old Cemetery Road by Kate Klise and M. Sarah Klise
A cranky writer moves into a seemingly empty Victorian mansion, only to find it already occupied by a boy, his cat and a very opinionated ghost. It’s told through letters, clippings and manuscript pages, it’s fun and perfect for children who like stories with a hint of creepiness!
The incorrigible children of Ashton Place by Maryrose Wood
I listened to the audio version of this, because I LOVE Katherine Kellgren so much – she might be my favorite storyteller of all time (I’m still devastated by her death in 2018) and this series was one we heard about from my sister-in-law’s family – their whole family listened to it on a road trip and couldn’t stop raving about it!
The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi
This was one of my favorites growing up, about a young girl who sets off alone on a ship to rejoin her family in America and finds herself in the middle of a mutiny and then tried for murder. I had read it aloud to my older girls – I hadn’t read it since the 90s! It’s so fun to revisit these beloved books from my childhood and I’m glad I forced myself not to reread them for the past decade so that they were new and fresh to me when I read them aloud! We were all SUPER taken with this book.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
