The Apple Orchard Riddle

The Apple Orchard Riddle by Margaret McNamara

Summary:  When students in Mr. Tiffin's class are invited to solve a riddle during a field trip to an apple orchard, it is Tara's daydreams that may lead to the answer.

My Thoughts:  This is a fun story about a field trip and apples. Readers can see some of the processes that go on at an apple orchard and farm.  The riddle Mr. Tiffin gives his students is a puzzle that an astute reader may quickly see the answer to but should enjoy Tara's journey to the answer in the story.  This would be fun to add to an unit on apples or just a fun read sometime.
