If you like "Magic Tree House" books and "Pictures of Hollis Woods" you would enjoy reading "Syliva Doe and the 100-Year Flood."
The plot unfolds at a brisk pace, filled with twists and turns that keep the reader engaged from start to finish. Beatty seamlessly weaves together elements of mystery and magic realism, creating a world that feels both familiar and fantastical. Sylvia is a protagonist that shows bravery and vulnerability as she navigates the challenges placed in front of her.
For sixth grade readers and above that like adventure, mystery, and serious topics, this is a great read! There is a kiss, so it would be appropriate for some 4th and 5th graders depending on their maturity level.
