Genre: Middle Grade Mystery
Publishing Date: September 3, 2024
Synopsis:
An 11-year-old podcaster-turned-sleuth teams up with the new kid in the building to find their missing neighbor! A captivating adventure perfect for fans of When You Reach Me and Only Murders in the Building.
Eleven-year-old Roya is the superintendent’s kid in her regal Brooklyn apartment building, so she knows pretty much everything there is to know about its residents. An aspiring reporter, she even hosts a secret podcast about the lives of the building’s tenants. It’s a good distraction from the problems in her own life.
But when Katya Petrov, one of her favorite tenants, goes missing, Roya discovers an eerie connection to Grandmother’s Predictions, an antique fortune-telling machine at Coney Island. “Grandmother” has been linked to multiple disappearances in the Petrov family over the last century. Now, with the help of a new friend who’s just moved in, it’s up to Roya to make her own headlines as she searches for Katya and attempts to break the Petrov curse once and for all.

Tour Schedule:
The Queen of Ocean Parkway is the best EVER Middle Grade mystery that I have ever read. Sarvenaz has created a story with so many elements which I am not going to discuss giving the reader an amazing experience throughout the whole story.
Roya and Amin were brilliant characters who worked well together even though the had not really known each other for that long yet there seemed to be a strong understanding and acceptance of each other.
But for me the biggest characters of them all and played a huge part was the Queen and Coney Island I actually felt that I was there.
For all the above reasons The Queen of Ocean Parkway 5 stars and hope that we will see another book as this would truly make a fab series
