Lac Du Bonnet author Andreas Oertel scored with juvenile readers with his Shenanigans series featuring adventures of early teens Cody, Eric and Rachel. In his fifth book of the series, these amateur sleuths discover a missing Indigenous artifact while snorkelling for golf balls in the golf-course pool. As usual, Cody is thoughtful, Eric is spontaneous (and always hungry) and Rachel is practical and efficient. Oertel’s trio provides plenty of humour, suspense and intrigue. His new book should rate highly with mid-level readers.
