Books with author Rena O. Cunningham

Arthur "Artie" MacArthur is a tenacious twelve-year-old with good detective instincts, somewhat questionable judgment, and two very good friends: Jenny Adams—tofu-eating and quick-witted, with a large dose of common sense and a sarcastic wit; and Sam Franklin—bologna-eating, sports-loving, mystery-hating, but always there in a pinch. From Artie and Sam's outrageous sandwich-making contests (the sight and smell of which makes Jenny nauseous), to the danger that lurks around every corner once Artie and his friends decide to solve a case, the humor and excitement is nonstop. In The Ride of Doom the county fair is in town and Artie is anxious to try out the new attraction—The Ride of Doom. Performing at the fair is Artie's favorite singer, Dallas Dakota, a big star when Artie's parents were young, and now doing the county fair circuit. When the local bank is robbed and suspicion falls on Dallas Dakota and his band, Artie springs into action to prove that his favorite singer is innocent. Does the secret lie in The Ride of Doom?
