Customer Reviews

I'd recommend it to any middle grade mystery fan!

This is a classic middle grade whodunit with a mystery based around a legend related to a haunted mansion, to give it a bit of a creepy atmosphere. But what makes this story particularly satisfying is the depth of the main character, Max, who is intelligent and genuine, flaws and all, and the portrayal of her disability in a way that it felt real (as someone who grew up with a sibling with a disability) and not at all overpowering or preachy.
