Donny and Mary Grace’s California Adventures: A Grandma Gang Mystery is a children’s book focusing on family, adventure, mysteries, and careers. It is about two siblings and a gang who came together to solve a problem.

Mary Grace and Donny live with their parents in Wichita. They enjoy mimicking the penguins with their parents at home. Their parents also enjoy visiting the zoo with their children. The fun stopped on the day Mr. Miller was informed of his missionary journey to Africa. After thinking hard, Mr. and Mrs. Miller sent their children to California to stay with their grandparents. Mary Grace and Donny find it difficult to believe they will be away from their parents for two years. However, after much persuasion, they decided to look at the brighter side of the relocation. Mrs. Miller also mentioned the famous Grandma Gang, which Mary Grace was eager to meet. Read this book to get the full story of Mary Grace and Donny in California.

This book is 196 pages long with a catchy cover page. The author divides the book into 17 chapters, each with a title. The author got the inspiration to write about Donny from her true-life story. It is an intriguing book with adventures to look forward to. Solving crimes with Grandma Gang made the story memorable, as I learned one or two ways to tackle bullying in schools. I had a free reading flow, and I got to read the book at once. The book was exceptionally well-edited, as I found no errors while reading.

There was nothing to dislike about the book. I like how the author carefully writes about Donny and Mary Grace’s adventures with the Grandma Gang, which included her grandmother, Cathy. It was like a family thing. The book also shared the importance of being friendly, caring for everyone around you, and much more. Therefore, I rate this book five out of five stars for the positive reasons mentioned.

I recommend this book to lovers of adventure and children’s books. Grandparents can also read for relaxation purposes. The book is suitable for all ages of readers.

This book is one of my favorites. Loved how adventurous and compelling the book was. The history of the grandma 'gang' mystery was entertaining to read and this book is a must read. Thanks for the detailed review.

It is indeed not going to be easy for the children without their parents. I am also wondering how they are going to cope. I am looking forward to all the adventures from this book.
