Swept Away: Ruth Mornay and the Unwanted Clues
Autor Natalie Hydeen Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2023 – vârsta până la 12 ani
- A precocious young girl uncovers a well-kept town secret while investigating the suspicious death of her beloved 64-year-old neighbour.
- Swept Away is a smart and suspenseful mystery that Nancy Drew fans will adore.
- References to the classic kid lit that Ruth is reading and the role of a historic secret society combined with a present-day setting and modern characters make this mystery fun for parents and kids alike. It’s a choice for read-aloud time with your child.
- Natalie’s works have been nominated for many awards including the Silver Birch and Silver Birch Express Award, the Red Cedar Book Award, the Rocky Mountain Book Award, the Hackmatack Award, and the Nutmeg Book Award. Her books have also been included in Resource Links’ Best Books of the Year and OLA Best Bets.
- Pinkerton, the hamlet in the book, is a real place in southern Ontario that the author stumbled across by taking a wrong turn (the only way people must find it). She fell in love with it and decided it was the perfect setting for Swept Away. A yellow brick house there that is now an antique store was the inspiration for Beatrice’s house.

Recenzii
“Swept Away is reminiscent of mysteries with classic girl sleuths and will be a fun read for all ages. Ruth is a great character and a headstrong young sleuth driven by her determination, similar to Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden.”
“There are many elements of this fast-paced read to enjoy, including an easy-to-read writing style, subtle humour, clever observations, and identifiable, relatable child characters. Saul and Ruth are a good partnership, each having nicely drawn down-to-earth personalities. Similarly, personalities of local residents, some of whom are suspects, are captured deftly.” Highly Recommended.
“Hyde pens an adventure with a timeless feel about a girl searching for her place in the world. While the chicken hilariously steals many scenes, Ruth emerges as a true protagonist as she breaks into buildings like the church, finding unlikely historical artifacts. Quirky characters and beautiful imagery make the village of Pinkerton feel alive, and hopefully the setting will lend itself to future books. Recommended for fans of summertime adventures, impossible puzzles, and lost histories.”
