Award-Winning Children’s Author Makes a Splash With New Great Lakes Mystery

(CLEVELAND, OH)—It is not just the lake that is “eerie” in Carole Marsh’s The Mystery on the Great Lakes!  Young readers will devour every mysterious detail as they travel the Great Lakes region with the book’s characters by plane, boat and submarine.  This mystery is full of exciting sites and historic facts, as well as spooky text messages, haunted lighthouses and classic guitars.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio; Round Island Lighthouse in Lake Huron, Michigan and Devil’s Island in Lake Superior, Wisconsin are just three of the well-known places this book takes readers to, as well as many other fascinating places found in the Great Lakes region.

“It was impossible to pick my favorite location in the Great Lakes region to single out, so I tried to get in as many highlights as I could,” says author Carole Marsh.  “Also, the historic lighthouses and mystifying islands made a perfect setting for a great mystery.”

Carole Marsh Mysteries encompass 72 books in nine distinct series. The Mystery on the Great Lakes is the 30th book in the Real Kids! Real Places! series, also known as America’s National Mystery Book Series, and publishes January 25, 2010. This series, which won Learning Magazine’s Teacher’s Choice Award, features real children visiting real places across the United States. All Carole Marsh Mysteries incorporate unique features that expand their educational value, including SAT words, an online book club and fun activities, along with having assigned Accelerated Reader quizzes, Lexile measures and Fountas & Pinnell Guided Reading levels.

Carole Marsh is the national spokesperson of 2010: Year of the Children’s Mystery Book and has been named Georgia Author of the Year for Middle Readers.  She is the founder and CEO of Gallopade International, a leader in the production of curriculum and supplementary educational materials since 1979.
