POW! New Fort Sumter Mystery Lands in January

(CHARLESTON, SC)—A missing dead aunt, suspicious bellman, stolen cannonballs and mysterious notes, these elements (and many more) all add up to Carole Marsh’s new rollicking, The Mystery at Fort Sumter!  This exciting adventure takes place in Charleston, South Carolina during Christmas time and is loaded with interesting history and an awesome adventure.

Get lost as you relive Charleston from 150 years ago.  This mystery highlights enchanting Charleston and historic Fort Sumter, from the ferry ride out to the fort to King Street and The Old Citadel Building Hotel.  It is jammed with Civil War history.

“This mystery combines two of my greatest passions, history and the South,” says author Carole Marsh. “I believe readers will be entranced with the historic locations in the book as well as getting caught up in the mystery!”

Carole Marsh Mysteries encompass 72 books in nine distinct series.  The Mystery at Fort Sumter is the 29th 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.
