Not easy being Greene

“Kelly Greene and the Green Hats” is a suspenseful page turner about a chapeau-loving tween with a mystery to solve. In this first, self-published chapter book from DM Dondero, Kelly grapples with the idea that her bedroom closet may be haunted. And she considers the alternative — that she may be plagued with an overactive imagination. Either way, she’s nervous, but she’s not alone. She has doting Uncle Jed, a visiting archaeologist, and her friends and sisters to help her solve the riddles.

As the creepy sounds pile up, Dondero depicts tween life with humor and empathy. For thoughtful readers ages 9 and older, there are lessons to be learned about working out differences, caring for the Earth; and more.
