About the Book: It’s 1914, and Darleen Darling’s film adventures collide with reality when a fake kidnapping set up by her studio becomes all too real. Suddenly Darleen finds herself in the hands of dastardly criminals who have just nabbed Miss Victorine Berryman, the poor-little-rich-girl heiress of one of America’s largest fortunes. Soon real life starts to seem like a bona fide adventure serial, complete with dramatic escapes, murderous plots, and a runaway air balloon. Will Darleen and Victorine be able to engineer their own happily-ever-after, or will the villains be victorious?
…..
Please note that only United States (excluding the territory of Puerto Rico) AND Canada entrants are eligible. No P.O. Boxes please.

I have two granddaughters, smack in the middle of this age range (9 and 11) who are avid readers and this book combines two of my favorite things to share with them, mysteries and old movies.
This book looks terrific! I coach high school football and basketball and have built a reading program where I take my team to read to elementary students in our district.
Its great for them to connect/mentor the younger students and as well they are getting public speaking lessons without knowing it 🙂
This would be a perfect book for us!!!
I’d like to win for my 88 year old Mom (soon to be 89). Her name is Darlene. I think she’d get a kick out of it.

I have my first grand-niece (the daughter of my brother’s son, my nephew) being born in May, and this would be something great to have to read to her when she visits her great-aunt and uncle through the years. It looks like it will be a great book, and we need to encourage the next generation about reading books – not just screens or phones – and books like this should be part of what we pass along.
I loved Darleen!
My son is 11 and my daughter is 8. I read to them every single night and love finding books they both enjoy. This definitely sounds like a winner!

This sounds like an incredible book set in one of my favourite eras. I used to read my aunt’s children’s mystery books when I was growing up and this sounds fabulous!
The reason I would like to win this book is because: I love reading adventure books to keep my self occupied while I’m at home.
I want to win this book for my niece who loves to read.
I have the sweetest little granddaughter in the world who is 8 and loves to dress up and play act. After seeing a local production of Wizard of Oz last summer (in which I – – at 75–made my stage debut as a Polisher of the Tin Man), she announced: “I want to be a actwess!” She would revel in this book, I’d revel in giving it to her!

My cousin’s birthday is coming up and it would be a nice gift to give her. She loves books set during older times.
This book looks amazing. I am always on the lookout for new and interesting books for my mother’s third grade class, as well as some of my younger relatives to hopefully get them more interested in reading.
I want to win this book because I think my daughter and niece would love this book.
This book just sounds a little different than most of the books out there and I think it would be an excellent addition to our school library
Hi, this past October 2, 2019, I met our first Granddaughter. I am now watching her virtually growing up without a visit during this Pandemic. When this Virus is subdued somewhat and we can travel again, I would love to read her this book!
Thank you for your consideration!
I have three kids who are avid readers. I’d love them to check this one out!
I would love to win this book because I think my kids would really enjoy it. It looks great!
I do not have a Twitter account, so I am posting here to enter but cannot tweet the message.
My granddaughter turn 8 in July, I think would love this book!
So, I’m a winner of a book! Thank you very much.
Yes indeed! I will be emailing you shortly 🙂
1. I love all things about film, and this book sounds like a lot of fun.
2. My wife is an elementary school teacher, so she would like to read it as well.
I adore classic movies, and think this would be a fun way to introduce my kids to the golden age of Hollywood.
