I like the spooky story about the haunted lighthouse. I also like how the loggerhead tried to tell the girls she was hurt which led them to solve the mystery. I like that the stories are set in far away places. It is fun to learn about other cultures. It was also fun to learn more about loggerhead turtles. – Keira, A Pack-n-Go Girl Reader

My granddaughter is really hooked on these books and can’t wait until the next one comes out! In her words they are “TOTALLY AWESOME!” and this one doesn’t disappoint. This is not just a story, it’s a wonderful education about the sea turtles and Brazil’s culture, language, and way of life, all bundled into a fun adventure. – Diana

Two years ago I read and reviewed Mystery of the Golden Temple, a Pack-n-Go girls book set in Thailand. This year I was delighted to receive Mystery of the Lazy Loggerhead, the second book in the Brazil series (I received this book in return for an honest review. All thoughts are my own). In this book, new friends Sofia and Júlia have finally reached the beach and Brazil’s Pacific coast. Sofia is able to use her Florida background in sea turtle ecology when the girls face a new puzzle.
Some of the main reasons I really like this series: Short, quick paced mysteries that draw the reader in almost immediately; familiar, repeated formula (one country, two girls, one mystery) helps readers jump easily from one book in the series to another; the stories include a girl traveling from the US (allowing the reader to place him/herself into the story) but also include a native resident to help get beyond just a “tourist” view of the country and culture; each book includes extension activities: country facts, recipe, language phrases, even a journal section! In addition, teachers and parents can sign up to receive free sample activities here or you can purchase a 40+ page resource and activity guide to accompany each country. I got a chance to browse the Brazil PDF, and it was crammed full of activity pages, secret codes, math problems, and more!
I had several students in my third grade classroom who read and enjoyed this series. It has some great supports for those just getting into longer chapter books, but it has high interest and engaging characters for more advanced readers too. A fun series to get kids excited about traveling the world and learning about other cultures! – The Logonauts
