Hold Fast

Hold Fast
By Blue Balliett

A great mystery to kick off the summer vacation! Set in wintery Chicago, this story poetically chronicles the search for a missing dad by a determined daughter, her 4-year-old brother, and her distressed mother.

While trying to prove her father's innocence, Early Pearl (11 years old) uncovers a bizarre book-and-library-related crime and experiences the hardship of life in a homeless shelter.

This book came in our school's Junior Library Guild subscription box, and was an intriguing read!

I've heard great things about Blue Balliett's Chasing Vermeer and look forward to reading that one soon...
