Surprise Party

(2) 4-6 Eager achiever Gen and her irrepressible younger brother Ernest are often antagonists, but they become conspirators in solving a family mystery and planning a surprise party to celebrate their parents' twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. An alienated grandmother whom they've never known is at the heart of the mystery. Readers will empathize with Gen and Ernest and will be intrigued by the ways adults are affected by parents, too.
