This book was really sweet, great for anyone in a fandom desperately wishing to go to the fantasy world.  It gave me Narnia mixed with old school Hardy Boys vibes.  I enjoyed being able to play along with the puzzles, but there were a few character choices I could not get behind.  It got a little too close to adult/minor relationship with the main character and her love interests.
