Steve Whan has announced that "Sisters of Shanghai" the fourth Autumn Jade Mystery is now at the printers. They expect to have the latest novel back by September 24th, 2006 (and are presently taking advance orders through their web site: http://www.autumnjade.com/ ).We like this series. The main character is a girl adopted from China who solves a mystery a book. The reading level is probably "ages 8 - 12". Since the book is coming from Canada, the postage is a bit higher than you might expect but we think it is worthwhile.
The story...
Autumn Jade returns to Shanghai with her parents to complete the adoption of her little sister, Lucie. During a site-seeing trip to Old Shanghai, her parents are kidnapped. It's up to Autumn and Lucie to find their parents, uncover the treasure hidden in the Shanghai Museum and for Autumn to confront her nemesis.
Steve Whan creates the (weekly?) collection of China news that is appropriate for children - Focus On China - that I have mentioned before.
