Willy and Tommy have it all-mystery, revenge and romance. Monteith, Oregon, becomes the stage for adventure beyond their wildest dreams!
Wilhelmina and the Willamette Wig Factory is the first book n the Willy and Tommy Adventure series. Wilhelmina and her family move to Willamette Valley – something Wilhelmina isn’t too pleased about. Convinced she won’t make any friends, that’s until she meets her neighbor, Tommy. Together they get involved in a conspiracy set up from beyond the grave to reopen the Willamette Wig Factory. From start to end, this is a delightful read that middle graders will love.
Willy is so much fun, and her fellow troublemaker, Tommy, is too. They’re both slightly eccentric and definitely unique, and they form a great mischievous duo. There’s a lot of humor to the story, and the characters are three-dimensional and intriguing.
I can’t wait to read the next book. I loved the whole paranormal angle, the characters, the plot…basically everything.
