We switched this to our last Read Aloud of the year. What a fun ending to an absolutely wonderful year! At the end of the book, my 11yod kept reading, "That was so good. That was SO good." Enjoy!

What a great mystery story. We couldn't put it down...never saw the ending coming. Reading it a second time was even more enlightening.

Great book. My son couldn't put it down. It was also affirmation of its quality to see it on display as summertime reading in the kids' section at our local bookstore.
