Sehr süßes und lustiges Kinderbuch, auch als Erwachsene gut lesbar und unterhaltsam. 

Ein gutes und kniffliges Mystery, eine kleine Romanze (der Erwachsenen), ein flauschiger tierischer sehr ängstlicher Begleiter und ein Dedektiv*innenduo das unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnte. Was braucht mensch mehr? 

Es wird über Schüchternheit, introvertiert sein und extrovertiert sein gesprochen und dass beides eben normal ist - und dass die offene, gesprächige und mutige Matilda und der (wer hätte es gedacht) schüchterne, zurückhaltende und ängstliche Rory Shy einiges von einander lernen können. 

Natürlich sind die Charaktere und die Geschichte nicht besonders realistisch und tendenziell absurd, aber das macht ja den Charme des Buches aus. 

Alles in allem 4 von 5 Sternen.
