Genealogy Day makes me think of Search for the Shadowman by Joan Nixon Lowery, one of my favorite children’s authors. This book for middle-grade readers is an entertaining look at how a school assignment on genealogy leads Andy to a hundred-year-old mystery. As he searches for ways to solve the mystery with the help of his best friend J.J., he soon learns that someone doesn’t want him looking into past secrets. The book is made more compelling by the dilemma imposed by the answer to the mystery.
