Read this aloud to my 10 year old daughter. I loved that it kept her engaged and guessing all the way to the end. We laughed and worried and guessed together. So fun!
Recommended for late elementary school readers and as a read aloud, plenty to discuss and enjoy.

I liked the book, it wasn’t as captivating as I thought it would be, but I liked Olive and the plot. I wanted to give 3.5 stars. Almost a 4, but not quite. At some point I will read the rest of the books in the series.

I loved this book! I don't normally read young adult novels, but when I read the description for this one, I knew I wanted to give it a chance. This book is very imaginative, funny, and I enjoyed the suspense and mystery within. This is a great first novel by the author and I am looking forward to reading future novels by her.
