The first book in the Mo&Dale series, this book is full of fun laughs and suspense. Mo&Dale live in a small town and one day Detective Joe Starr comes to town then someone in town is murdered. Join Mo & Dale as they solve the case.
This mystery book tells the story of child named Mo and her friend, Dale. They engage in a murder investigation and help the officials catch the culprit. The plot twist is quite surprising, too.
Mo is a girl who was born during a hurricane. Her mother put her on a bulletin board and it slipped from her hands and went down a river, until a man found her and named her Mo, like Moses. I really liked this book because it was really interesting mystery.
This book is about Mo LoBeau who lives in a small town where everything is local and there are no secrets. Mo washed up from a hurricane when she was a baby and knows no other home. So when a detective comes around asking about a murder, Mo and her friend Dale must work together to protect those they love in this meaningful story. Through its gentle start to its awesomely exciting climax that keeps you on your toes, Three Times Lucky is a great book about family, friends, and of course, mystery.
The first book of the Mo & Dale Mysteries is a book of laughter, betrayal, heartbreak and... mystery! This book I was hesitant to read. I had other books. The plot includes many twists and turns and makes you laugh and stare confused at the book. This book is amazing. I recommend this book for kids 8-12
