The Hidden Staircase by Carolyn Keene

4.0

As with all of the books in this series (as far as I remember as I am slowly re-reading them as I can find them at my local library), these are a nice, quick mystery read that are also a nice look into the idealized life of a go-getter 18-year-old in the 1950s. These books definitely have a formula-style which was really easy to see after reading this book back-to-back with the first, but this isn't necessarily a drawback to the series and individual stories if you know what you are signing up for.
