More nostalgiacore. I want all the books they talk about from their library to be real books!

I stopped to re-read this when collecting books I would be willing to donate. I was expecting her to solve the mystery in a way I wrote in my head, so it was a bit anti-climatic, when the solution came. Good use of dialogue. Definitely for elementary students.

My favorite book as a child! Still have a torn up copy the library wanted to get rid of on my bookshelf. Guess I'll never be able to let it go :)
