Join local author Jo Beckett-King at Books Inc. in the Marina for a celebration of her debut middle grade novel, a witty and charming mystery filled with cryptic clues and wonderful word puzzles,
The House of Found Objects! About the book: Twelve-year-old Bea from Passaic, New Jersey, is visiting her family in Paris for the summer when her grandmother’s most precious heirloom—a drawing by Henri Matisse—goes missing. After a cryptic clue arrives on Bea’s doorstep suggesting its whereabouts, Bea is determined to pursue the lead.
Without the French skills to navigate her way around the landmarks of Paris, she teams up with her cousin, Céline, whose clear-eyed French directness makes her a perfect partner for curious, problem-solving Bea. The girls embark on a city-wide search, deciphering riddles, solving puzzles, and cracking codes as they try to locate the Matisse, find a thief, and identify their mysterious benefactor. Jo Beckett-Kingis the author of the Bea Bellerose Mystery series. Originally from the north of England, she spent several years in Paris after graduating from university. Following several recent years in New York, she now lives with her husband in San Francisco, where she writes and works as a French-to-English translator. In addition to her middle grade fiction, Jo writes for adults; her short stories have been listed for the Bridport Prize and the Bristol Short Story Prize in the UK.

Alcatraz Island

Historic buildings

一數

A few hundred metres from San Francisco&#39;s pier, Alcatraz was once the hardest-core prison in the United States, and after the prison closed in the 1960s, Alcatraz was occupied by Native Americans for nineteen months, and the island&#39;s social hall was burned down. Alcatraz became the Golden Gate National Amusement Park, designated as a national historical landmark in 1986, including the burned social hall, which is 15 minutes by boat from San Francisco.

Golden Gate Park

Family-Friendly Attractions

112***09

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. Most tourists will not go to this attraction specifically, but since we are traveling independently, we can visit it in a more relaxed manner. The environment design of this park is unparalleled and it is worth checking out.

Golden Gate Bridge

泰迪小熊

Came here on September 24, 2017.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a landmark of San Francisco and a well-known tourist attraction in the United States. If you come to San Francisco, you must check in at the Golden Gate Bridge.

There are many bridges in China that are more majestic than the Golden Gate Bridge, so in fact, just take a tourist photo near the Golden Gate Bridge to say &quot;I&#39;ve been here&quot;. The best photo spot should be the Torpedo Wharf area on the southeast side of the bridge, and try to go early, otherwise when the sun sets, the photos will be backlit.
