3.0

At times this book was better than the earlier ones and at other times it wasn't as good, there was lots of twists and turns and shocking discoveries. But other aspects just would bug me, how 3 preteen kids could do so much and not a single adult batted an eye, how time goes from one book to another, each book is a different school year and there doesn't seem to be a break. The events of the new year contain glimpses of the summer break as though a full year was completed but the time of the book barely feels like weeks not a full 8-10 months. Little things like that didn't jive for me, but otherwise can't wait for the next one and neither can my son.
