This is exactly the kind of book we want kids reading. It’s smart, fast-paced, and written by a pro who respects her audience's intelligence. Haddix has been a staple for decades for a reason—she doesn't do boring.
If your kid liked The Westing Game or The Mysterious Benedict Society, this is a no-brainer. It’s wholesome without being preachy and exciting without being trashy. It’s a solid 2024 release that feels like a modern classic.
