adventurous lighthearted medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
This was really a delight. It’s a perfect light read for Christmastime, and the illustrations were lovely (especially that cover—wow!). The book reminded me a lot of the middle grade mysteries I loved as a kid, like “Chasing Vermeer” and “Shakespeare’s Secret,” along with the aspect of sneaky children trying to figure out the adults’ secrets of “A Series of Unfortunate Events.” Just when I thought it was starting to drag a little, I got hit with the twist, which I didn’t see coming at all. I’m interested in reading the rest of the books in this series, and not just because I worked with the author at a bookstore for a bit!
