It’s an intriguing and interesting read. The author manages to weave wellbeing strategies into the story, which I think is so good for young readers.

A theme that is explored within the novel is how thoughts and feelings coincide with one another. I found that this element of the book was really positive and beneficial. I think it would really make readers think about their own thoughts and feelings, particularly how they manage their emotions.

A well written, adventurous, fast moving mysterious book that I really enjoyed. I think that this book will be well received by students in my Library.

This spectacular book would be suitable for children 12+ I also recommend this book to inquisitive readers who love interesting mysteries.

Brilliantly written. Made me want to keep reading and guessing what was going to happen. Very much enjoyed this!

A fun thriller with great characters, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a thriller.

American Mystery is an incredible book with a brilliant storyline. I feel that I can relate to Edie, as I have very similar personality traits to her, and I think that we would be very good friends in real life.

The eagerly awaited third book in Anthony Kessel's Don't Doubt The Rainbow series, American Mystery continues the detective adventures of hero Eddie Marble. This time the mystery stretches across the ocean to Canada and America. Helpful maps can be found inside the front cover.

Picking up the teaser at the end of book two, Eddie becomes involved in uncovering a dark family secretshared with her confidentially by her ailing Grandfather. This in turn leads to a much bigger investigation, which prompts the reader into considering the ethical implications of this, at times, heart-rending story line, alongside enjoying Edie's crime-solving narrative.

American Mystery is both a great read and contains good advice and modelling from the lead character, about ownership of emotions, encouraging the reader to understand the way thoughts and feelings can influence behaviour. It is a fast-paced page turner which once again ends with a teaser, giving the reader a taste of the storyline for book four!

The complementary covers of the three books in the Don’t Doubt the Rainbow series are different from much published middle grade fiction at the moment, making them eye-catching books for dynamic shelving in school and public libraries.Highly recommended for secondary school aged students.

It caught my attention in a different way to other books, which was really positive. The story captivated me and made me want to read more and more.

Helps to recognise that as humans we can experience painful emotions and how we can tap into our inner resources in order to manage and cope with difficulties we may encounter.
