“The Legend” Juvenile Book Series Continues With 3rd Book!

Author Jan Culbertson has created another classic mystery book in his award winning juvenile book series. These books are aimed at 9-13 years but like all of Culbertson’s books all ages will enjoy reading them. His 3rd book in this series is called “The Legend of Dunsmoor Manor.” This is a truly fun children’s adventure that takes place in England in a haunted house. There is even a mysterious secret room and there is some digging going on in the graveyard. But I do not wish to spoil a good story by revealing too much.

Culbertson knows how to craft a good story that is age appropriate and entertaining. He follows the success of his other two wonderful books in this same series and we will find the same two sisters at it again. The story is easy to read for young readers or for younger children who would love to listen if it was read to them. It is well crafted, flows with enough energy and innocence that young people should honestly enjoy reading it.

This book makes for a wonderful gift to younger readers. It is totally family friendly and children will find the story engaging. I give this book a children’s book rating of FIVE Teddy Bears! I also personally recommend that you buy all the books in this series – of which there are now 3 with a 4th soon to be published.
