My book is called Three Times Lucky by Sheila Turnage. My book is about a girl, Mo, who was adopted by 2 people she calls Colonel and Mrs. Lana. A murder has occurred in their small town and Detective Joe Starr comes to investigate. After time passes Mo and her best friend, Dale, also investigate. I really enjoyed this book and thought the author was very descriptive when describing characters. The characters were very realistic and had many different traits along with great personalities. Any person who loves a good mystery should read this book. This is because, this book is full of mysteries and they are being solved all throughout the book. The genre of this book is realistic fiction. All the characters do not exist, but they could have and there is not any type of magic. One piece of internal conflict was when Mrs. Lana was kidnapped. Mo was very sad and was having a hard time being herself. A piece of external conflict (Man vs Man) is when Mo found her parents and figured out that Deputy Marla had kidnapped them.
