By Maureen Kauzlarich

Book Overview

A magical golf course. A miniature mystery. A ticking time clock or it all disappears.

Packed with fast-paced action and humorous characters, Rush to Mini City is the middle-grade book both boys and girls will love The story follows Rush, heir to Mini City Miniature Golf, a broken-down minigolf course. Unlike his family, who cared for the golf course for generations, Rush doesn't care that it is set to close on Halloween.

But on the night before its closure, a mysterious person lurks around the 18 holes. Rush, who suffers from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, chases after the trespasser as best he can until they disappear, leaving only golf shoes behind. Struck by an unexplained force, Rush shrinks by the first hole. This is where the adventure begins. . . .

At every themed hole a hand-crafted "miniature" comes alive bringing new characters and trouble for Rush. He finds out the magic his great-grandparents instilled in the miniature characters is leaving the game. Rush must follow an enchanted golf ball to the 18th hole and stop the villain who is stealing the magic.

Along the way, a treasure hunt for seven lucky items ensues and every miniature he encounters could either be a friend or foe. Unfortunately for Rush, he only has until midnight to collect the items before the villain. Readers of all ages will have fun unfolding the mystery that is Mini City.
