Publisher's Summary
Viva Durant, New Orleans’ youngest detective, is on a quest to solve a jazzy mystery involving hidden treasure, while exploring the city’s unique culture, history, and music. This family-friendly audio original features original jazz music from the creator, Ashli St. Armant, and an enthusiastic performance from Audible Hall of Fame narrator, Bahni Turpin.
Plucky 14-year-old Viva Durant heads to New Orleans every summer to spend time with her loving but stern grandmother, known as Gram. After Gram reads Viva an article in the local paper about a missing treasure related to the world-famous song, "Miss Mary Mack," Viva traverses the Crescent City on an epic adventure to solve the mystery. Along the way she meets some of the city’s most colorful characters as her journey takes her to the French Quarter, a jazz club, a creepy cemetery, and even the circus. Can Viva rise to the occasion and solve this musical mystery? Listeners will find Viva Durant and the Secret of the Silver Buttons a joy to listen to!

A jazzy and fun mystery!
This was my first full audiobook and I was pleasantly surprised.
The story is a rather delightful mystery in the vein of Nancy Drew. All of the pieces are there for the reader to figure out what is going on. There are a couple of plot points that stretch credulity, but it's a middle grade read, so that's not too bad.
The narration is fantastic and gives the listener a great feel for the sound and culture of the area. The sound effects enhance without being intrusive, and the jazz interludes and songs are nice touches. Recommended for kids of all ages; I will be listening to the next audiobook in the series!

Fun little mystery
If I am honest, I didn’t expect much when I picked up this book on Audible a few months ago. However, after listening, I found Viva Durant and the Secret of the Silver Buttons to be a delightful middle-grade mystery that was accompanied by a pleasing soundtrack. I would recommend to YA readers and those looking for a fun story with a bit of New Orleans culture.

Fantastic story and captivating for all ages!
The story, music, and narration blended together perfectly for a fun and mysterious adventure! I've already recommended it to every parent I know who has children old enough to listen to books, because it's incredibly fun to listen to together. The richness of the story combined with the warmth of the characters went well together, and it's lovely to have more examples for young girls to see themselves in literature!
