Mystery of the Moss-Covered Mansion by Carolyn Keene
5.0
Well this is probably the most bizarre start of a mystery. Can't get much weirder than exploding oranges.
Highlights included Ned breaking a window (on purpose) with his foot by basically just... taking a run at it and sticking his foot out, karate style. Like, dude.
+1 points for old-timey recognition that colonization was messed up. Still not quite sure why this museum in Florida had so much focus on the Aztecs.
But also, I really hate the parts that are drama for the sake of drama? Like, Bess and George are in a car crash by a guy driving under the influence and that doesn't get brought up and really didn't need to happen. And Nancy goes to get a rental car and gets immediately pulled over because it's stolen. Also doesn't play a role in the plot.
Other than that, cool secret codes, space shuttle stuff, and information about oranges.
