THE CASE OF THE TEENAGE TERMINATOR by Angela Elwell Hunt


Nicki Holland’s older brother Tommy is not himself. Normally happy-go-lucky and kind, he has become secretive and angry. When the anger turns to violence, Nicki and her friends Laura, Kim, Christine, and Meredith decide it is time to put their sleuthing skills to work and find out what is wrong.

The Case of the Teenage Terminator is the third in author Angela Elwell Hunt’s Nicki Holland Mysteries series. Although written with a Christian slant the author avoids proselytizing; and the five girls who make up the mystery solving team possess enough differences, problems, and virtues to give readers ages eight through twelve characters they will both identify with and enjoy.

Interestingly, I could not find any reviews for this or any of the other eight Nicki Holland mysteries. I am inspired to pay attention to how many religion oriented books are reviewed by School Library Journal, Booklist, Horn Book, etc.

Hunt, Angela Elwell. The Case of the Teenage Terminator. San Bernardino: Here’s Life, 1991.
