The story is about a girl named Meg. She is a detective who loves to solve mysteries. Meg, her brother Peter, Skip the dog, and Gramps, Meg's grandfather aboard a ship called the Albatross. In this book she tries to find out who stole a treasure map belonging to the captain. The suspects are Carlos, Mr. Morley, Anthony, Dr. Peck, Jasper, and Carrissa Almost everyone has a motive! In the end Peter deliberately knocks Dr. Peck over and the map falls out! Meg is the only one who believes that Dr. Peck didn't steal the map. In the end Meg finds out who really did it and if you read the book then you will find out whom. I really enjoyed the book and I think you would too.

This book is talking about a girl named Meg and she wanted to solve the mystery of "who stole the treasure map." Mr. Morley stole the map and the envelope. It had a famous sticker on it and he put it in his pocket watch. He lied to the other people and Meg about stealing it. He put the map in Dr. Peck's camera case. Using different clues, she found who stole the map and why it was stolen.

Meg Mackintosh is at it again, and this time reaches back into several historical settings. Meg,her brother Peter, and Gramps are off on a history making exploration. After they receive several important clues they set out on a journey that takes them across the country and back in time. Ms. Landon uses historical facts to point the children in the right direction. Students can't help but learn many interesting facts as they uncover each mystery. It is almost as if my class could actually touch a period in time they were learning about. The story of the missing silver coins and the ride of William Dawes instilled in the children a sense of wonder as they helped Meg unravel the clues. Such ecxitement over a historical event, that one may take for granted, warms a teacher's heart. The students will always remember that Paul Revere was not the only rider on that fateful night. I think this book is a must have for a fourth grade classroom. It brings history to life for the children. Remember, at this age we have a lot of background knowledge to build and this is one exciting way to do it.

i really liked this book because you got to solve the mystery...it was a fun book to read. i would recommend this book to anyone that likes mysteries....or solving them!

THIS WAS A GREAT BOOK, IT HAD INTERESTING CLUES, AND IT REALLY MADE YOU THINK. IT WAS A FUN BOOK TO READ. IT MADE ME WANT TO READ THE REST OF THE SERIES.

This book is a must read for any mystery or sports fan. It is just a terrific book.

The book is not only the second funnest accelerated reading book I ever read, but I also liked how it asked questions at the end of the page. And it was a really fun book to read.

My six year old daughter loves these books, and I agree with her. The protagonist is a clever girl who solves mysteries primarily through visual clues. The story stops from time to time and alerts the reader to figure out some question before proceeding, which is very helpful. The difficulty level is about age 6-12, and it's a fun series for both kids and grownups.

Lucinda Landon knows how to whet a child's appetite for reading. She magically combines word and illustration as she brings the reader deeper and deeper into her Meg Mackintosh mysteries. Landon also stops at well planned intervals to have the reader go back over the clues, both discovered and yet to be discovered. She is amazing at the way she has the children self-monitoring their reading to see if they have all of the clues. She challenges them to be one step aheead of Meg as she uses photographs and her own illustrations to reveal the solution. The students in my fourth grade classroom can't get enough of these mysteries. A common question has been: "When will there be a new one?" I always have to purchase several copies because they love to share these books. They will be delighted to add this mystery to their monthly reading logs.
