   Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  annhepburn | Mar 4, 2018 |    ) l.harri2 | Mar 31, 2011 |  Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.The book contains little information about fossils, only skims the environmental issues that are at the center of the story, and briefly touches on the history of the area. I did finish reading the book, and found it had a satisfactory ending. It even contained some old fashioned bop-the-bad-guy-on-the-head action. Would I recommend this book to friends? Probably not. There are many other well written books that I prefer. Would you like this book? I guess you will have to read it to find out. stined | Feb 9, 2011 | Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. ) ndeyton | Jan 10, 2011 | Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. ) sbcgang | Dec 22, 2010 |
 "Jo Ann Yhard has written a page-turner akin to Nancy Drew... Yhard excels at providing enough information to allow the reader to follow the clues and solve the crime. Nothing is too far-fetched nor too obvious as the suspense builds to a satisfying resolution." "Yhard was weaned on Nancy Drew mysteries, which the elan and intelligence of her writing clearly reflects...it's not surprising that her book The Fossil Hunter of Sydney Mines remains in demand. Yhard has penned a rollicking and heartwarming adventure...The book will delight young readers with a taste for sophisticated adventure."  "Jo Ann Yhard weaves a tale brimming with suspense." "The fast-paced plot manages to mix danger with an emotional depth, culminating in a heart warming story fiilled with multi-dimensional charaters...This story is full of twists and turns that will leave even adults guessing as to what whill happen next."

Thirteen-year-old Grace already has too much going on--grieving over her father's mysterious death, dealing with her distraught mother's erratic parenting, and evading her creepy nosy neighbor, Mr. Stuckless, just for starters. She and her friends Fred, Mai and Jeeter like to get away from it all by hunting for fossils near their secret hideaway, the abandoned mine they've nicknamed The Black Hole. But when Grace receives a strange note regarding her father's disappearance, it sets off a chain of events that sees Grace and her friends turning into detectives to solve the mystery behind his suspicious disappearance. As the clues and suspects start piling up and the investigation becomes more and more dangerous, Grace and her friends find themselves racing against time through treacherous sinkholes and abandoned mine shafts to figure out what really happened to her father.

Grace is a wonderful character - snarky, fearless but secretly very soft-hearted, especially about her father, whose disappearance (and presumed death) sets the story in motion.
She is backed up by a wonderful gang consisting of accident-prone Fred, extremely organize Mai, and the mysterious (and cute!) Jeeter, the new kid at school.
And on top of all this fabulousness, its setting (Cape Breton, Nova Scotia) adds to the atmosphere, as the kids go hunting for cool fossils while evading opportunistic environmental pirates.
This is a perfect book for all ages! (
