I am reviewing a copy of Just South Of Home through Simon and Shuster Children’s Publishing and Netgalley:

Sarah is twelve years old and is finally in charge. She can spend her Summer Reading her favorite science books and bossing her younger brother Ellis home. She does not have to worry about being worked to the bone by her strict Grandmother Mrs. Greene. But when her cousin Janine arrives Sarah’s plans are squashed.

Janine is good at getting into trouble and asks her cousin to take her to Creek Church, a landmark in their little town that she had been told was haunted. The church happens to be off limits. Janie’s sticky fingers lead Sarah, Ellis and his best friend, Jasper, to uncover a deep-seated part of the town’s past. With a bit of luck, this foursome will heal the place they call home and the people within it they call family.

If you’re looking for a good Middle Grade read one filled with adventure and strong characters. A character that middle grade girls who are interested in adventure,

I give Just South Of Home Five Out Of five stars!

Happy Reading!
