**THIS BOOK IS A MOM'S CHOICE AWARD WINNER and a FAMILY CHOICE AWARD WINNER** It's finally summer at Shear Heaven Ranch, and Sophie and Scottie are looking forward to swimming in the cool ponds, climbing the huge oak trees, riding their horses, and taking care of their ewe, Fuzzy Mama. Scottie tells Sophie that she feels as if "something is going to happen to us," and says they should both be alert to things on their ranch that don't seem normal. So when Mr. Wilson delivers a special package from their globetrotting and eccentric Auntie Jill, they can't wait to open it! Inside is a magical, multicolor crystal frame with a letter attached explaining that this special gift will show them "many places." This mysterious present makes the girls wonder what the letter means and if an adventure is ahead. As night falls on Shear Heaven, the photo in the frame of the strangely familiar Rancho de La Joya hotel starts to move! Will Sophie and Scottie follow the call to adventure? Will they leap into the portal that will transport them thousands of miles away to solve a mystery in Mexico? And will they learn to rely on their instincts with a rather mischievous map that doesn't trust grownups? An enchanting story highlighting the beauty and balance of nature, the Mexican culture, and the bravery that girls can display, especially when they work together, Sophie and Scottie's Adventures of the Monarch Mystery will delight fans of magic and mystery of all ages. This engaging book is recommended for elementary school-aged readers ages 8-12.
Sophie and Scottie have returned home from their amazing adventure in Mexico. While helping to solve the mystery of the monarch butterflies, they'd met many strange creatures, as well as nice people such as Dr. Drake. So when the doctor shows up at the ranch with a mysterious envelope, the sisters almost fall over! Could their globetrotting Auntie Jill have sent another photograph to put in their magical frame to activate? Was another mysterious adventure about to begin? As the summer sun continues to climb over Shear Heaven Ranch, the girls excitedly open the envelope. Auntie Jill's instructions are very detailed. Do they really ride their horses through the frame?! Sophie and Scottie developed special talents in their last adventure. What new talents will now help them solve why the ocean currents are flowing strangely around a remote Pacific Island, where an otter can't resist shiny objects and a purple dolphin constantly blows bubbles? Sophie and Scottie once again use their trusty map, decision-making skills, and great team work, all with a dash of science, to help solve the island's "fishy" mystery!
