It can be challenging to find Christian fiction for middle grade readers, especially stories that draw them in without feeling overly preachy. That’s why I’m excited to share a new novel that fits the bill: The Mystery of the Missing Falls by Jen Weaver and Gayle Veitenheimer.
This book combines Christian themes with an engaging mystery that middle-grade readers are sure to enjoy. Fall is the perfect season to curl up with a detective story that will keep you flipping the pages. I also appreciate how the novel highlights the importance of prayer and features diverse representation. And did I mention there’s an adorable chocolate Lab?

Series: The Kingswell Kid Detectives — Book 1
Synopsis: "Luka and Ember are ready to put their new detective agency on the map, and the town’s oldest unsolved mystery might be just the case to do it. When cousins Jake and Callie — who are at odds with each other — join the investigation, the young detectives set out to uncover the truth behind the missing falls, help mend an age-old family feud, and discover an unexpected tool along the way: prayer.
Blending high-stakes sleuthing and page-turning adventure with the questions kids really ask about God, The Mystery of the Missing Falls invites young readers to discover that prayer is more than talking to God — it’s part of an ongoing relationship with a God who speaks, listens, and meets them in everyday life."
