About this ebook
After the sudden death of their parents in the jungles of Central America, twelve-year-old science geek Andora “Andi” Boggs and her diva teenaged sister, Bethany, move to rural Killdeer, Ohio to live with their eccentric twenty-something aunt. And while the timeworn house has been home to the Boggs family for generations, Andi feels far from at home. Exploring the attic in her grief, she discovers proof of another Andora Boggs in the family tree hidden in a Depression-era trunk. Despite the meddling of the citizens of Killdeer, Andi and her new friend, Colin Carter, are determined to find out who this first Andora was, how she vanished, and why no one in town wants to talk about her. As more and more unanswered questions pile up, Andi and Colin must decide who they can trust with their secrets and who is interested in Andora’s story for the wrong reasons.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What a cute story!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Andora Boggs' story - her longing to find the baby for whom she was named - is particularly interesting to me as an adopted child who also has a "mystery" in my past. Andi and her sister Bethany deal with real life trauma, but not in a dramatic or contrived way; rather in a way that makes you think of them as real youngsters living through real pain and each dealing with it in their own way. Andi and her friend Colin solve the mystery, but not without an edge of excitement, and prove themselves worthy sleuths for the younger generation. I believe Andi Unexpected will draw kids in and leave them wanting to read more of Andi Boggs and her adventures.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This clever mystery is perfect for an older child. Andora and her older sister Bethany are living with their aunt, following the sudden death of their parents. Still reeling from all the changes in their lives, Andi and Bethany need and want separate bedrooms, but the only other space is an attic room. They work together to clear out decades of old family stuff, and they find a hidden trunk, concealed in a cubby hole, with the name Andora. Thus begins the mystery. This tale explores the issue of loss and acceptance, of change and perseverance, and of family and love. Both girls find ways to cope with the loss of their parents and ways to go on living, with the support of family and new friends. Not overly sad, it is more uplifting as the girls, with help, solve the mystery of the original Andora. Well written with engaging characters.
