![]() ![]() It feels to me that lots of kids this age would enjoy the layers of relationships as well as this mystery. It's a tangled mess that's a fun mystery I finally figured out only about the time Coop and friends did. Coop's anguish and mistrust of a grandpa who had been dearly loved causes him to begin his own investigation with the friends helping. ![]() Coop's grandpa ends up arrested because the body is his wife, who supposedly left him years ago. Many interesting characters, as in all small towns, gossip at the cafe/bookstore and other places like the barbershop, too. Author Taryn Souders presents her audience with a smart, fast-paced murder mystery containing all the twists and turns of a favorite rollercoaster. At least, it's regular until a body is found buried when the old playground was dug up to make way for a new one. Coop Knows the Scoop doesn’t preach morality, but rather shows readers real situations any middle-grade kid can relate to and the natural outcomes of decisions made. ![]() These kids help out at his mom's cafe and bookstore and Gramps works there, too. All seems very regular middle-school stuff. The town is full of all kinds of interesting people, but no one has ever caused a problem. Cooper Goodman (he prefers Coop), in seventh grade with his friends, twins Justice and Liberty, lives with his mom and grandpa in Windy Bottom, Georgia, where he and his mom moved after his father died. Coop helps his mom at her caf and bookstore, hangs out with his grandpa, and bikes around with his friends Justice and Liberty. ![]()
