Review of advance copy received from Publisher
This one felt like it went a little too long. I stayed with it for the mystery part but it got a little in the weeds adding in curiosity and other things. The way some of the text is included as illustrations in the spreads did not work for me and made it hard to parse text order on some of the pages.
