The Red Blazer Girls

If you are looking for a book with action, adventure, and some school and math, then you should read The Red Blazer Girls. I loved the book, because the three girls were just normal girls who discovered something, and the terrific adventure takes off from there! From a school classroom to under an alter table, the detectives/school girls are enjoying it! This is a book that anyone could read, and probably everyone would enjoy it!
