Bestselling author, journalist, and Edgar Award winner John Feinstein is back with. It’s not necessary unless you love the genre. 6: Rush for the Gold: Mystery at the Olympics (The Sports Beat.

Should we (librarians) put this on the top of our “to read” piles? YA fiction… possibly Children’s if your collection goes up to 6th or 7th grade. Bestselling sportswriter and Edgar Award winner John Feinstein is back with another sports mystery featuring Stevie Thomas and Susan Carol. From award-winning sportswriter John Feinstein, a YA novel about a teen golfer poised to blaze his way into Masters Tournament historyand he’ll face secrecy, sacrifice, and the decision of a lifetime to get there. Who should buy this book? A necessary addition to any library this spring as we look forward to the Olympics this summer! I’d recommend it to middle and young high school students… This story can be read alone or as part of the series. To whom would you recommend this book? Anyone who enjoys the other Stevie & Susan Carol mysteries and anyone who loves the Olympics, especially swimming. What didn’t you like about the book? The end wrapped up a little too quickly, but I still enjoyed it. Feinstein’s characters are wonderfully young and wide-eyed in the face of immorality. The resolution was acceptably cheesy and sweet. The actual mystery doesn’t unfold until the last half of the book but the story still has plenty of momentum. Most of the story focuses on Susan Carol and her frustrations with sponsors and their obsession with physical beauty. What did you like about the book? I am a huge fan of Stevie and Susan Carol.
