The Mystery at Jamestown

Like the other books in this series, it was an educational read, with lot's of information about the area and its history. However, all the books seem to follow the same pattern and is kind of predictable. This one, to its credit, did step it up a bit and was exciting. However, I don't understand why the culprit leaves clues. Every villain seems like he is trying to get caught.

The main characters, Grant and Christina, are visiting Jamestown and meet an archaeologist, who is suspected of stealing some bones from the site that he is working at. Grant and Christina, along with the archaeologist's son, and a girl they meet in Jamestown, have to clear his name. And convince their grandparents to let them keep their new puppy.

If this is the first book of the series that the reader has read, I think they'll enjoy it. If not, they could probably guess the ending.
