Too Many Secrets

Wright, Betty. Too Many Secrets. New York: Scholastic, 1997. 118 pages. (Mystery)

The book that I chose was Too Many Secrets. The main characters are Chad, Jen, and Benson the dog. In this book, the story takes place at Mrs Beane’s house because Mrs. Beane fell down her stairs and had to go to the hospital. While Mrs Beane was in the hospital, Chad was asked to watch Mrs Beane’s dog, Benson. Whenever Chad tried to take Benson out for a walk, he wouldn’t move. He would just hide under the couch. Then, Chad remembered that Benson had a blue fuzzy bone that he would always carry around with him even on walks. Chad had to go to Mrs. Beane’s house to get it. When Chad went to get it, he thought he saw a person in the house. When Mrs. Beane fell down the stairs, she thought that she saw the person too. Now, Chad needs to see what is going on in Mrs. Beane’s house.

An interesting thing in the story is that Chad goes to Mrs. Beane’s house every day to watch the house and see if anybody is breaking in. This is a book that I would share with my parents because my dad is a police officer, and he likes to hear about those kinds of things.
