Such a quick and exciting read! I read this years ago as a child but I didn’t remember the storyline at all. Although I remembered the series, the story didn’t quite hold up in my mind as I thought it did. Still, it was as enjoyable as I previously remembered (from what I can).

This was one of my favorite books as a kid and i loved the mystery. I loved Ruby and all of her family and friends, and also the setting in this book. This book was truly a delight to read.
