Why read it?
1 author picked Saguaro Sanction as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Saguaro Sanction is the eighth book in Scott Graham’s National Park Mystery series.
I have read every one of Graham’s books, because I love being swept into the backcountry of one of the nation’s national parks and learning about issues that affect that particular location. I also love characters Chuck Bender, an archeologist, his wife Janelle Ortega, and her two daughters Carmelita and Rosie.
Graham is a master storyteller and provides a perfect balance as he weaves in details about this engaging family, the vivid descriptions of park landscapes, and educational elements to deliver an entertaining mystery.
