The Greetings from Somewhere series is new from Little Simon, positioned as sort of a chapter version of picture book adventures like From Kalamazoo to Timbuktu!. This first in the series goes on sale today (January 7) along with Book 2, The Mystery of the Mosaic.Don't know much about the author--is Harper Paris a pen name?--but she plays it safe with her young audience. Adventure here is a fun, danger-free diversion. There is less detecting than in, say, Encyclopedia Brown or the A to Z Mysteries. The Greetings from Somewhere books may be mysteries in title, but twins Ethan and Ella just sort of watch things happen around them. Large type and plentiful illustrations from Marcos Calo ensure that beginning readers will not feel overwhelmed. Glossary with foreign words included.The first book introduces the characters and sets the tone. (It's not clear if Ethan accidentally threw the coin into the fountain or simply dropped it and someone else did.) The second book is more representative of future entries in the series, as the twins continue to explore foreign cities while accompanying their travel writer mom.
