Karen Taylor may be just 12 years old, but she's old enough to know it's time for her to grow up and play a part in shaping her world. There are dangerous forces at work out there, forces she is just beginning to understand, and they are threatening the people and places she loves. When she meets a man working with a surveyor to map out a section of the woods, she stumbles into a secret plan to build a large industrial plant. The new plant has serious implications for Karen and her town, and for a rare salamander that lives nearby. The mayor and the developer are determined to build their plant and will roll over any obstacle to do it. Karen also wants the plant to be built but in a way that lets everyone benefit. She will even risk her own home to make it happen. But the forces of business as usual are very strong. What can a 12-year-old girl do to make it all work out?

I down loaded this book today and I couldn't put it down. I'm always looking for something refreshing to share with my 13 year grand daughter since I read everything she suggests I read. This is a book that I actually read before her and one that I will share with her. Love this book and I will let you know what my grand daughter thinks of it when she finishes it. My thanks to the author whom my husband and I had the pleasure of meeting today at a luncheon. I'd be very interested in reading another novel in the same genre. Always love a good story when the good guys finish first. Thank you!Product details

The Secrets of Pond Street edition by Robert Benson Matthew McCosco Children eBooks Reviews
I enjoyed this warm and ultimately satisfying tale of a wise and intelligent heart in a very young woman, with guts beyond her years. As an older adult, I might have identified more with a chronologically older protagonist, but that didn't affect my appreciation - and admiration - of her courage in the midst of difficult social and economic pressures which would have defeated many an adult.
The book is well-written, it held my interest, and it deals with important issues in realistic gray. I recommend it to young and old.
This book captured my interest from the very beginning. This is a wonderful story of a young girl who doesn't really know what affect she has on the people in her life. She is not afraid to speak her piece and stands up for what she thinks is right. I found it easy to read and well-written. I highly recommend it. RG
This is an excellent book. It presents great characters, especially the heroine, who finds herself by accident in the midst of problems dealing with the possible financial collapse of her small town and the loss of her own home. The many adventures and hardships she endures and the moral dilemmas she faces makes for a lively, fun and uplifting story. Many educational aspects on big business, the environment, and personal responsibilty are woven neatly and without detracting from the page-turning excitement for young people.
I could not put this book down! It held my interest from start to finish. Not only was it exceptionally well-written story with a tightly-woven plot line , it had a powerful message of how honesty and integrity and "doing the right thing", while often requiring great courage, can have very beneficial results. Karen manages to teach us lessons of life in a fun,believably spun story.
I would highly recommend this book not only to children ages 7 and up, but to adults. There were wonderful lessons about ethical courage for all of us without in any way sounding "preachy."
Great read! Can't wait for the sequel!
