A Hitch at the Fairmont by Jim Averbeck
4.0
Jack's mother has passed away in an automobile accident and he finds himself in the care of his rather uncaring Aunt Edith. But, when Edith becomes the victim of a kidnapping Jack must find her before he ends up in an orphanage. Luckily for Jack his aunt's hotel neighbor is none other than the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock.
I always enjoy when an author puts a real person in their story and Averbeck presents Hitchcock in a very entertaining way, giving him the right blend of mentor, drama, and humor. The story is fairly fast paced and compelling and keeps readers guessing as to what will happen next. The book is a little longer but each chapter is preluded with a story board adding some visual interest for young readers.
Good for readers 5th grade and up.
