Who's Scared? Not Me!

Who's Scared? Not Me!
By: Judith St. George

Being a child that had to move and pack up her whole life for something as simple as a job, I found this story very easy to relate to. Micki Unger moves to New York City for the summer because her younger sister Beth needs surgery. Her mother barely has time for her because she is busy taking care of Beth. It seems the only person who even gives Micki the time of day anymore is her dog. That being said, this gives Micki many opportunities to explore and get herself into trouble.

One day, while walking with her dog (Jiggs), she stumbles across a strange lady. It's funny, but this lady seems to only be visible to Micki.  Micki soon realizes that she has become part of a mystery and it is up to her to solve it. She may have to give up more than she bargained for to do so.

While this wasn't one of my favorite books, I tried to be open minded. I feel that the mystery was very predictable. It didn't leave room for imagination, throw out twists and turns, or keep me on the edge of my seat. I was able to follow along with the story and guess what came next. A good mystery should be exactly that. That being said, this is not to say that children won't enjoy this book. I think that they will as I find it is an easy read.
