Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jerrye Sumrall grew up in a small southern town with lots of freedom to play and explore her surroundings. As with all childhoods, there were ups and downs, but Jerrye feels that these experiences served as a springboard for her writing. In her adult years, her experience as a teacher and counselor further developed the writing framework that later grew into a unique mystery series, The Bayshore Mysteries.

Jerrye currently lives on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay with her husband. She is now a full-time writer, homemaker, amateur photographer and office manager for she and her husband's business, Baldwin & Mobile Termite, Inc. She and her husband have traveled to many places in the United states and abroad. She has given you a glimpse into that part of her life through her personal website where she has combined her love of writing, traveling, and photography. The profile picture shows Jerrye at the Anne of Green Gables Farm in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, Canada.

Jerrye now has seven books in her middle-grade series, The Bayshore Mysteries. This series incorporates mystery, action and adventure, local history and enduring characters that learn lessons in friendship, courage and determination. The first six books reached number 1, 2 and 3 in their category on Amazon's Top 100 Free Downloads.

"The Mystery of Wragg Swamp" is Jerrye's third book in her young readers mystery series. Once again, I have not been disappointed and I'll be giving this book as gifts to my nine to eleven year old young readers. The mystery has a wonderful sense of place that feels like the deep Alabama south. Using the backdrop of Mobile's Mardi Gras and the marshy swamp lands nearby is an interesting location. The kids show the curiosity that we want our children to develop. They have fun in creative ways that shows developing courage, yet at the same time, realizing why limits are set,how to gracefully accept responsibility for their actions and then move on with a great attitude. Those are important lessons for young people to learn. All of this is woven into a truly exciting story that children will want to keep reading until the very end. I highly recommend this book as well as her previous two books in the series.

As a retired elementary school teacher, I still continue to look for great books for children. It is a lot of fun to be able to take a book into a classroom and share enough of it to pique the children's interest to the point where they will want to do a follow-up independent read. The Mystery of Wragg Swamp would make a great independent read for readers in third grade and beyond. It is wonderful to have wholesome adventure stories, with built-in lessons (without "preaching"), and the fact that the topic of friendship is so prominent is crucial these days. The mystery will keep kids wanting to turn pages and the scary parts will have them holding their breath at times. One thing I appreciated was that Jerrye Sumrall takes her readers to settings within the story with great description. I can close my eyes and imagine myself in some of the "situations" the children experience throughout the story. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Action Adventure - even for adults
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2013

This was a fun read. The story has a fun action adventure involving three boys and a young female caught in a storm in a swamp area that they think is haunted. The backdrop of a tornado, strange voices howling from the swamp and a 7-foot creature lurking around makes for some suspenseful moments. The author did a great job of describing how teen boys speak and behave and she did it without the typical foul language and sexual details used so much in today's culture. The story is engaging enough for an adult and certainly appropriate for young adults. I highly recommend this book for parents seeking clean reads for their children probably 12 and older but you could certainly read it to younger children. Good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adventure and local flavor!
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2013

The Mystery of Wragg Swamp takes readers into the marshy waters of Wragg Swamp in Mobile, Alabama. Jeff and his friends share in the town's excitement as Mardi Gras approaches. However, curiosity leads them astray.

Sumrall knows how to tell a story, capture young (and older) readers' interest and teach us about a location and its history, all in one book. For those of us who've never been to Mobile, here's your chance to taste its flavor. I had no clue that Mobile hosted the first Mardi Gras celebration in America.

The story deals with some real issues like bullying, disobedience and consequences. Sumrall successfully captures the voices of middle-grade students.

I look forward to the next book in the series.

Once again Jerrye has written a book that is worth reading. It's simplicity is refreshing and the subject matter is one to which I can relate. I have given all three books to my 11-year-old grandson, who has written several short stories just for our enjoyment, in hopes that he will be inspired to share his experiences of getting into trouble and working his way out of it. I am so glad that there are still books written that we can share with the young people in our lives. Thank you so much, Jerrye, for your hard work in bringing us a "class-act" book. I look forward to the next one.

I love reading mystery stories. I really enjoyed this one. Apart of the mystery line, the friendship line is very good discribe. Your enemy can become your true friend. Read it, full of unexpecting things happened.
