Poe's Ultimate Mystery Challenge.

Sherrill Joseph was a shy kid whose friends came mainly from books. Her hero Nancy Drew taught her to seek adventures and help people near home. Convinced early on that she was an architect in a former life, Sherrill was receptive to the magic of her Southern California neighborhood's historic Craftsman and Spanish houses. To this day, she still dramatizes those old "castles," filling them with mysteries and exaggerated occurrences. Once retired in 2013 from teaching kids for thirty-five years, the child in Sherrill created the award-winning Botanic Hill Detectives Mysteries series so other children could gallop with her and her four sleuths down dusty passageways and climb endlessly winding staircases after clues to capture the bad guys and solve the mystery at hand. Please come join them and their standalone adventures!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Mystery Even Poe Would Love
    Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Edgar Allan Poe! Just knowing he was at the center of this new mystery had me wanting to read Sherrill Joseph’s most recent MG Botanical Detective series, featuring four young friends who solve all kinds of mysteries in the neighborhood (and sometimes further away). As the detectives work through their clues, Joseph shares quotes from Poe’s work that give depth to the mystery and to the puzzles for each reader to solve before the four detectives reveal what they learned from that clue.

    I’m’ not a Poe scholar, but I caught many of the clues (not all of them) and immediately knew that Joseph had done a lot of research and planning to build this marvelous book. Now I want to go to the Victorian Mansion, find the gravestone, and walk every hallway and outdoor paths those young detectives walked. Both young readers and adults alike will enjoy solving this puzzle as they follow hidden passages and find unique treasures. Even a direct experience with a raven and an intruder harkens back to Poe’s most well-known story.

    As with the previous books, the friendship of these four young detectives continues to shine as they persevere and solve the complexity of this particular puzzle. As usual justice is served and the world is a little better because of their tenacity. Highly recommended for middle-grade readers and anyone, young or old, who loves deciphering puzzles.

    I was really impressed with this novel from cover to cover! I wish they had books like this when I was growing up! Jacaranda Street follows four young detectives as they solve mystery after mystery in an attempt to find Edgar Allan Poe’s last poem.

    This story is the perfect blend of fiction and nonfiction. Besides learning about Edgar Allan Poe, different cultures, and new vocabulary words, the reader gets to become a detective by participating in challenges alongside the Botanic Hill detectives! The last challenge was a ‘poe’fect touch to a ‘poe’fect book.

    I highly recommend this novel to young readers and Edgar Allan Poe Fan!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A clever, engaging, and enjoyable puzzle-solving cozy mystery
    Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2023
    Format: Paperback
    Jacaranda Street: Gravestone Image is an inventive symphony of Nancy Drew, Edgar Allan Poe, and Dr. Watson. It is a clever, engaging, and enjoyable puzzle-solving cozy mystery ride by the award-winning Author Sherrill Joseph.

    Author Sherrill Joseph was a fourth and fifth-grade teacher (teachers are my heroes) who, as a child, was inspired by Nancy Drew mysteries to become the accomplished children’s mystery writer she is today. You don’t have to read the entire Botanic Hill Detectives series (although you would genuinely enjoy them) to love Jacaranda Street: Gravestone Image, especially if, like me, you’re an Edgar Allan Poe fan.

    In Jacaranda Street: Gravestone Image, Author Joseph weaves a compelling path into a gothic puzzle challenging four thirteen-year-old detectives, Lexi, Lanny, Moki, and Rani. We are pulled into the mystery immediately when the owner of Kirby’s Gazillion Gadgets, Nigel Kirby, invites the young detectives to help solve an old family mystery.

    Author Joseph’s writing is lovely and captivating. For example: “Moki glanced at the two gravesites and noticed they were now in deep shadows. The ravens and crows had returned to the nearby trees to roost and were making soft, throaty clucking sounds to say farewell to another day. Some owls, however, were having a hooting contest to welcome the night. Scattered crickets, at home in the dead grasses, chirped their approval of the humans’ departure so they could reclaim their territory.” Her characters are real and inspiring (even a raven named Rex). And the puzzles they solve along with the reader are challenging and fun.

    I am an adult mystery writer and was thoroughly captivated by this novel. I learned that a synesthete is a superpower – when Rani hears a word or a name, she tastes something. Cool.

    I will not give away the ending but only share this: “The four friends raced laughing down all the flights of stairs to the kitchen, their minds filled with images of Poe, Ravenswood, and their amazing discoveries. The usual letdown the Botanic Hill detectives felt after a case didn’t materialize this time.” Nor was I let down at the end of this marvelous book, and neither will you be. In fact, like me, you will encourage the author to write book six.

    Author Sherrill Joseph is an extraordinary storyteller and a brilliant writer. I highly recommend Jacaranda Street: Gravestone Image to anyone of any age who enjoys a good and delightful cozy mystery. I loved it.

    – Nick Chiarkas, award-winning author of Weepers and Nunzio’s Way.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Restorative Justice for Poe
    Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2023
    Format: Kindle
    Sherrill Joseph knows middle grade readers well. Curriculum introduces students to the writings of Edgar Allan Poe. Here, the young Botanic Hill detectives use their delightfully presented powers of quirky deduction to solve a mystery about Poe’s questionable legacy and dark reputation. In a story that is about restorative justice, Joseph takes readers through the halls of a university, the paths of a cemetery, hidden rooms of a Victorian mansion, and the vaults of an old church as the young detectives search for clues. Evidentiary hints leading to the deconstruction of Poe are sometimes interesting word and logic puzzles that the author encourages her readers to solve before reading on. Fascinating characters fly (some saying, “Nevermore”) in and out of an account that young readers are beginning to know all too well: betrayal and deliberate scams to destroy a person’s reputation. Like exploring hidden passageways into a person’s soul, the story illuminates Poe’s contention that “There is no exquisite beauty… without some strangeness in the proportion.” Poe explored the bizarre, what the French call the outre, in his works. In Joseph’s narrative, it is in acknowledging that life can be both beautiful and strange that restorative justice may be found.
