******************************************************************************************************************************
It's a tale of jumping to conclusions and it's catchy! Jumping to conclusions and a little gossip can start a wildfire and age knows no limits. In the back of the book there is A PEEK INTO THE PAST and a list of other mysteries for suggested reading. The activities include Tableaux vivants (TAB-loh vee-VAHN) which is a guessing game, Twenty Questions and Assumed Characters are three mystery games for you and your friends to play. A nice short mystery from the American Girls collection.
