Reviews

Media Reviews

"The book is a page-turner and presents end-of-chapter dilemmas, but as a mystery, it may only appeal to those who prefer an element of the bizarre with their mystery." - Children's Literature

"The book ends somewhat abruptly, with all questions answered. An enjoyable choice for fans of the first one." - School Library Journal

"[R]ich in mystery, action and self discovery-along with plenty of literary references for well-read audiences to pick up" - Kirkus Reviews
