What a wonderful story for all Grandparent’s to share with their Grandchildren. Its descriptions were so real and exciting. You actually felt like you were there. More importantly, the relationship between Papa and Keira was so very special. After reading this book Grandchildren will look at their grandparents in a new light. One in which they will be eager to share their dreams, concerns and thoughts from their everyday lives.
The Case of the Missing Crown Jewels is a delightful tale. Enjoyed the history involved in solving the mystery. The relationship between Keira and Papa is solidified by the way they work together, their belief in each another. Young and old alike will benefit from reading this story.
A willingness, even an eagerness, to try new things, visit new places and the freedom to let your imagination create fun and solve problems are things every grandpa should encourage in his grandkids. I shared THE PAPA AND KEIRA…. with my 6-year-old granddaughter and she loved it. In fact, she said, “Poppy, I want to be just like KEIRA when I’m 12 and from now on I’m not going to be afraid to raise my hand in class to answer questions from my teacher.
The Case of the Missing Crown Jewels describes in an entertaining and provocative fashion, a special relationship between a grandfather and his granddaughter, which, as a grandparent, I would love to have with each of my grandchildren. The author’s keen insights provide many teachable moments and a helpful compass for grandparents seeking to establish similar bonds. He has captured the essence of such a relationship: trust, respect, unqualified support and friendship.
I thought this book was super and I could not put it down!
This is a great book for readers who love mysteries. The ending was a total surprise. I never would have guessed that it would turn out the way it did.
I liked that it was a mystery I could solve based on the clues provided. I found the characters humorous, and Keira so much fun. She and her grandfather make a great team together. I liked the way they teased each other and the mutual affection they share.
