A bit slow, but ultimately another enjoyable mystery for Vance and the crew.

Another fun installment. The great thing about this series is how the characters grow and develop.

once again, a solid storyline. her mom got to help her out on this mystery, including her new girlfriend diane, and goldie herself grew a little bit more, learning a lesson about how to treat your bestfriend. that lesson helped bump up the stars for me because sometimes Goldie comes across a bit too immature and selfish, can't wait to see how much more she grows in the next volume.

Still a super cute read- but I missed some of the elements from the first novel, such as the hotel setting and exploration of the staff dynamics. This installment focuses more on Goldie herself, her relationship with her mom, and her friendship with Cheryl. I didn't connect at all to the plot, but still zoomed through this because of the beautiful, fun art style and cute vibe.

As fun and stylish as the first one. Highly recommended. Read them in order.

Aso very cute. Continues the drama and mysteries of the first one, but we didn't see the racer girl in this one I guess the friendship between Cher and Goldie was more important, and I think I agree.

Very cute. Goldie Vance takes place in the 60s, but it seems to be an alternate reality 60s where people are chill and not racist/homophobic. This is a fun setting and the characters and art are charming.

So, this episode lets the reader know that we're in 1963.
I think I kind of hoped this was an alt-universe thing but it's not. It's 1963 Florida.
I wasn't nearly so charmed by this volume as I had been the first. The art is far more rushed-looking and not so expressive. Some of it was downright wonky.
And the story.
We've got this in our young adult section but it's totally suitable for 10- to 12-year-olds.
This installment has an astronaut washing up on shore but inside the suit is a teenage beauty queen. What's going on?
Goldie and her BFF, Cher, have a fight and Goldie sees Cher driving off with the beauty queen astronaut even though Cher doesn't have a car or a driver's license.
What's going on?
Silliness and improbability. That is what's going on.
It's still cute and I still love that everyone comes in all colors and sizes but, story-wise and picture-wise, this one just didn't do it for me.
