the mystery was a miss for me, but the rest was great! i loved the characters (mavis was a great mc) and the discussions the book brought up about racial discrimination and the importance of diverse stories in the school library for all children to enjoy. on the other hand, the mystery wasn't that interesting, the final plot twist didn't feel convincing and overall i didn't connect with the mystery as much as i had hoped.
