I unexpectedly enjoyed this book! I read it mainly because I have a goal to read all the Caudill books this year. This book’s premise seemed odd, I mean it’s about a cricket farm. But I ended up enjoying the story, the mystery, and the unexpected topic of sexual harassment that was woven into the storyline. Overall a good, quick middle grades read that actually has some depth to it.
