Praise for The Zach & Zoe Mysteries
"Lupica kicks off a new series starring a pair of 8-year-old twins
who solve sports-themed mysteries . . . Along with plenty of
suspenseful sports action, the author highlights in both tales the
values of fair play, teamwork, and doing the "right thing." .
. . the supporting cast shows some racial and ethnic
diversity. Wholesome, uncomplicated fare for the younger Matt
Christopher crowd."--Kirkus Reviews
"Mike Lupica is bringing his sports knowledge and excellent writing
ability to the chapter book world...[Zach and Zoe] have
exciting playoff games, supportive parents, and act true to their
ages . . . there is no evil involved in the mysteries, and the
community is supportive. It is evident early on who or what is
behind the mysteries, but this should be a positive for youngsters
who are just getting started with guessing the outcomes of chapter
books."--School Library Connection
"Zach and Zoe are likable and kind to each other, and their parents
are supportive. Lupica knows how to write sports action with a
heart . . . Give these to young readers who are looking for easy
sports fiction or who are new to the mystery genre."--School
Library Journal
