In the Mysteries Of Middlefield series, readers will be immersed into exciting mysteries and authentic Amish culture.
With a twin brother and five younger brothers, Mary Beth Mullet's house is in constant chaos. Her parents don't seem to mind the noise, but she needs a break from all the pestering and babysitting.
It's the summer before eighth grade, and Mary Beth plans to escape to her secret place as much as possible. The old barn in the neighboring field is dangerous, and her parents have forbidden her to go there, but she escapes to it as often as she can.
Mary Beth soon discovers she is not alone in the barn. Someone is living there; someone who needs help. Can Mary Beth help the stranger without losing her secret place? And what if the barn is as dangerous as her parents say it is?
Readers will identify with Mary Beth's struggles for peace and independence and be engrossed in the excitement and danger of A Summer Secret.

The good thing about this book is the glossary of Amish terms in the front of the book. This book is well written for a teen. But as an adult, I found this book to move a little slow and not be so "mysterious", and now as an adult, I see where Mary Beth's parents come from now with wanting to keep her safe from harm. I would recommend this book for teens, but for an adult, I'd say read an Amish book by someone who is writing this genre for adults.
