While she hunts down the clues, she must race against a secret society, who are after the same clues, and are searching for her mother as well. With the help of her friends, she will embark on the adventure of a lifetime! This book contains the first arc of the adventure, plus two additional tales in the life of Claire Mundy.<\/p>\n<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<p>We all know the saying about judging a book by its cover, but it&#8217;s the cover that drew me in to this book. Who doesn&#8217;t want to read about a girl who is clearly pretty awesome? Not this girl.<\/p>\n<p><u>The Good<\/u>:<br \/>\nClaire is a strong, independent woman who tackles everything she meets head on and I love that about her. The author keeps each story moving and throws in pop culture references from perhaps his childhood which made the read a lot of fun for me.<\/p>\n<p><u>The Bad<\/u>:<br \/>\nThe stories in the book don&#8217;t really feel as if they tie together. I expected that the stories following the introduction to Claire&#8217;s mom being missing to have some aspect of that. Instead, they were stand alones which while fun left me feeling a bit disjointed.<\/p>\n<p><u>The Summary<\/u>:<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re looking for a great book for your middle-reader, I can absolutely recommend Claire Mundy. It&#8217;s fun, full of adventure, and personally, I can&#8217;t wait to find out what happens next with her, her mother, and the secret society!<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjQJDruw6pLd8owZMJR36Vea_kxMlhQez-fcBveKhcQGqjDmm-UGmr-gzh6-AObnAEaUhibowUSn9DwzqWeh_11-bpfwpjifPIOuoYEt9LjimVIFKyZ0QRkJMKY1M3NWEJRSqEgAD57fa9I\/s1600\/Name.jpg\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"45\" data-original-width=\"114\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjQJDruw6pLd8owZMJR36Vea_kxMlhQez-fcBveKhcQGqjDmm-UGmr-gzh6-AObnAEaUhibowUSn9DwzqWeh_11-bpfwpjifPIOuoYEt9LjimVIFKyZ0QRkJMKY1M3NWEJRSqEgAD57fa9I\/s1600\/Name.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\nIf you like what you&#8217;ve read here, please share it with others using these buttons:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Claire Mundy, a 24 year old college student and adventurer, suddenly receives information that could lead to her missing mother.
