Notebook Mysteries ~ Changes and Challenges (Notebook Mysteries Book 3) by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Maryn Belling

Whether you love American history, anthropology, the 19th century (late 1800s) or young ladies who defy expectations eruditely, this book series is a win. If you grew up reading the American Girl books, this series builds on reading styles you already enjoy. If you’re an adult choosing books for a younger reader, this series is similar to 100 Years of Solitude in its narrative construction, character development, and world-building – except of course you’ll already have learned 140 years of history about the places.

Emma is our spunky heroine – back again for more adventures leveraging her inheritance to figure out crimes in 1880s Chicago. If you’ve had to read Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle in history or literature class, this book series might not shock you as much as if you’re coming to it from a less graphic perspective.
