Review Detail

Reader reviewed by shopgirl

I recommend readers read this one twice. Why? Because the first time, you're in the dark about what is going to happen. The second time, you can go back and pick out certain red herrings and pointed clues cleverly hidden but still in existence, and obvious enough that if you put them together, you will come up with the solution before the end of the novel.

I learn something new everytime I read this novel. It is genuinely a lot of fun to read. In my opinion, it is quite similar to the board game "Clue" in novel form.

I would recommend this one for all ages, boys and girls, because I think Ellen Raskin created such a friendly, fun, and mysterious novel that everyone who is willing to sit down and read the novel, and pay close attention to details, will enjoy immensely.
