The Stolen City Names
A Becky Murphy Mystery
by Ron Charach


At the age of just ten, Becky and her friend Carl solved the mystery of who was unleashing lifelike robots on the town of Kitchener: their very own school principal, Mr. Reichmann, posing as Herr Doppelganger. She's now fifteen and has a confirmation ceremony coming up that her parents are arguing over. And, once again, strange things are starting to happen. A pioneer's medal has disappeared from the KGM Museum, and even worse, someone has been posting lies on the internet, trying to erase Kitchener's religious Mennonite roots. Is Mr. Reichmann also behind this cyber crime, or (gulp!) might the culprit be her very own Dad?


"Ron Charach imbues his books with fantasy, creativity and humour." —Kirkus Reviews


Ron Charach is the author of six books for young people, including the first Becky Murphy Mystery, Robots in the Diner.
