The Absent Author / Ron Roy / 87 pages / First Book in a Series

A to Z Mysteries, Book 1
"Dink's full name was Donald David Duncan, but no one in Green Lawn ever called him that, except his mother when she meant business."  Dink feels guilty.  If he hadn't invited his favorite author, Wallis Wallace, to come to Connecticut to the Book Nook to autograph book, he wouldn't be missing.  He would be safe in his castle in Maine.  Dink and his friends use two letters and an itinerary to track down the author.  Who is Mavis Green?  The cover is arresting; illustrations are plentiful and pleasing; and the mystery solving process draws the reader in and encourages use of deductive reasoning skills.
