I read this a dozen times as a kid and still loved it. As an adult I appreciate the social and political commentary in a way I was never on top of as a kid. I can tell the Agatha Christie influences in a way I couldn't back then, too. Easily one of my favorite books, and I'm glad to know it holds up.

I’m still not as smart as Turtle

Quirky and clever, but I found this book really confusing when I was a child.
