“From its quaint coastal setting to its collection of quirky inhabitants and visitors, Surrisi sets her snare of mystery to a guaranteed surprising outcome.”

—Rita Williams-Garcia, Newbery Honor award-winning author of One Crazy Summer

“A delightful mystery with a clever plot twist that does a good job keeping the suspense going while balancing Quinnie’s desire to obey her parents with her concern for her friend’s safety.”

Praise for The Maypop Kidnapping

“[A] delightful cozy mystery, snugly mixing intrigue and humor, with an unpredictable and satisfying resolution.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Surrisi has created a tale that captures readers’ attention within the first few pages and keeps up the pace through the last chapter. The characters are relatable, refreshingly human, and very funny.”

—School Library Journal

“The only thing that would make this book better is if it came with a Gusty Burger and a side order of lobster fries. I’ve never flown through a book so fast to find out whodunit.”

—N. A. Nelson, Smithsonian Notable Children’s Book Award-winning author of Bringing the Boy Home

“The Maypop Kidnapping teems with one-of-a-kind local characters, likely suspects and unexpected heroes, humor, and heart.”

—Sue Cowing, author of the Society of School Librarians International Honor Book You Will Call Me Drog

“C. M. Surrisi’s Quinnie Boyd is one of the cleverest, most memorable young teen protagonists I’ve met in quite a while! . . . Surrisi’s debut novel is an engaging cozy mystery, with unpredictable twists and turns and an ending you’ll applaud!”

—Cindy Norris, Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe
