This clever mystery is perfect for an older child. Andora and her older sister Bethany are living with their aunt, following the sudden death of their parents. Still reeling from all the changes in their lives, Andi and Bethany need and want separate bedrooms, but the only other space is an attic room. They work together to clear out decades of old family stuff, and they find a hidden trunk, concealed in a cubby hole, with the name Andora. Thus begins the mystery. This tale explores the issue of loss and acceptance, of change and perseverance, and of family and love. Both girls find ways to cope with the loss of their parents and ways to go on living, with the support of family and new friends. Not overly sad, it is more uplifting as the girls, with help, solve the mystery of the original Andora. Well written with engaging characters. (

This was a quick read. I was disappointed in the ending. I liked the characters, but thought they could have been fleshed out a little more. Perhaps this will happen with later books in the series. A good beginning. I was happy to receive an advanced reader's copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. (

Andora Boggs' story - her longing to find the baby for whom she was named - is particularly interesting to me as an adopted child who also has a "mystery" in my past. Andi and her sister Bethany deal with real life trauma, but not in a dramatic or contrived way; rather in a way that makes you think of them as real youngsters living through real pain and each dealing with it in their own way. Andi and her friend Colin solve the mystery, but not without an edge of excitement, and prove themselves worthy sleuths for the younger generation. I believe Andi Unexpected will draw kids in and leave them wanting to read more of Andi Boggs and her adventures. (

The debut of a middle school level mystery series, this book screamed shades of Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys! In-depth and steeped in originality this story kept me engrossed to the very end. Amanda Flower is a very adept artist in creating characters and settings with all of the detail and suspense of an adult focused mystery. Included in this story are all the elements of a future success mystery series for present and future middle school children. There is no predicting what follows in this fast-paced full-length novel. I think I'll leave Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys packed away. This "grandmother" enjoyed the action and adventure in this charming modern-day investigative chronicle for middle grade children. I'll be watching for more of Andi Boggs and her future activities! My grandchildren will be receiving copies of this series.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from Zonderkidz in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own, and no monetary compensation was received for this review.
