Kaleidoscope Eyes by Jen Bryant

Lyza's grandfather dies and leaves her an envelope stating, "For Lyza ONLY" along with three maps. Lyza and two of her friends work to solve the mystery of what the maps and message from Lyza's grandfather mean.

It's 1968, so the reader gets to explore a little of life in the 60s. It's a great blend of historical fiction and mystery/suspense.

Topics: treasure hunt, missing sister, hippies, Janis Joplin, racism, draft,

Genre: historical fiction (Vietnam War era) in free-verse form

Mrs. Beckwith's Rating: 4 of 5
