Reread this to discuss with my sister and nephew as we go through the series together. It still stands up as one of my favorite stories from childhood. The mystery of the community is just as compelling. I recalled how much I wanted to speed through the ending to find out what would happen and found myself doing that again this many years later.

While a quick read, this story crept along and ultimately the climax came like a small ripple rather than a big wave.
