Reviews

[Catherine Petrini · Rating 2 out of 5]

The mystery had some intriguing aspects, and I loved the secret passageways in the old mansion. But the characters were not well developed, and the heavy-handed religious references felt contrived.

Good elementary aged book

This book is full of mystery and adventure for the elementary aged kid. Fast paced and has some great twists. Not to scary for youngsters

This book was thrill to read, I enjoyed how I was on the edge of my seat and managed to laugh at the hilarity of some parts. The character's no matter the age, showed origionality and comical whips from all angles. A very enjoyable read.
