Kathy Stinson does an excellent job in keeping the reader intrigued and in suspense throughout this book. Readers will easily relate to the feelings held by the characters in the story as they have probably have had similar experiences. No doubt they will vicariously embark on a search to solve the clue themselves while trying to guess the clue’s source and its meanings. While delivering an enjoyable read, Stinson adds depth to her story by touching on the values of friendship and trust. One will also learn that preconceived opinions about people are not always correct.

... even the youngest children found this an engaging and compelling story to listen to or read to themselves.
