Mystery at Jacob's Well is well worth your while

I am waiting for the sequel! I did not realize how many facts I was learning while I was being entertained by this wonderful story. I look forward to more books by Mrs. Bennett.

What a terrific book!

As a teacher, I highly recommend this book for not only the factual information, but for the "mystery" aspect as well. It will definitely hold a young reader's attention. I especially enjoyed the fact that the well is a real-life location and that Indian folklore played such a significant part in the story.

Mystery at Jacob's Well is a winner!

Marcia Bennett's "Mystery at Jacob's Well" is a great read for kids age 8 or up. As a writer and science teacher, I'm always delighted to find a good, wholesome children's book that incorporates an intelligent story line with accurate historical and science fact. This book reminded me of those great Nancy Drew/Trixie Belden books we used to read, but it has considerably more substance for today's more sophisticated youth audience. Although the book draws from local (Texas) folklore, it should be enjoyed by readers from Maine to California. I highly recommend Ms. Bennett's book, and hope that it is the first of a long series.
