Description

When their new Korean sisters do not arrive at the airport, Abby and Carly have a mystery to solve, with God's help.

Quick Summary

Abby and Carly are thrilled to meet their new Korean sisters at the airport, but when the sisters never show up, the two girls launch into a kid-sized mystery that's equal parts excitement and heart. The story weaves together a light-hearted search for clues, a few funny mix-ups, and a gentle reminder that prayer can help when things feel scary, making it a great fit for early readers who like a little suspense without anything too scary. Young mystery lovers, especially those interested in multicultural families or adoptions, will enjoy seeing the girls use simple problem-solving and teamwork to piece together what happened. Parents will appreciate that the book's tone stays warm and positive, with only mild tension and a clear faith-based message woven naturally into the plot. At around 6,400 words, it's a solid choice for second-graders reading at a 2.9 level, and kids who liked the adventure-plus-friendship vibe of Magic Tree House will find a similar feel here.
