Does it count as a re-read if I first read it in sixth grade almost forty years ago? I actually won a contest at my school with my book report on this because I made everyone want to read the book. I can still see why I loved it so much then. I like how these disparate characters come together. Yeah, some points of connection are glossed over, but it's a kid's book. It is a bit too unquestionably rah-rah-America for my adult tastes, but it's still a pretty good book.

2.5* rounded up to 3.
I wasn't enamoured with the characters, I rather disliked most of them, but I wanted to keep reading to solve the mystery so that aspect of the book works well. I also think it would likely work better for an American reader as they would be more familiar with the references needed to solve the mystery.

There's nothing more delightful than rereading one of your favorite childhood books and finding it just as delightful as you remember. <3
