Mr. Perry came over to my house one day, gave me the book, and asked me to read it and do a review of what I thought of it. Here it is Mr. Perry : )

I am under 14 (this book is written for 10 - 14 year olds) and enjoyed this book very much. It is a thrilling mystery that I could not put down! (i stayed up till 3am reading it)
Kelly McCabe is quite a role model, she is adventurous, daring but carefully thinking things through, and is an eleven year old detective, which will appeal to kids.
For all girls (and possibly boys) who enjoy the Nancy Drew series, the new Kelly McCabe series will surely delight them.
After reading this book, i thought to myself that there was something slightly peculiar about it. I couldn't figure it out, but after myself thinking, "This would make a great movie" i found it. Mr. Perry is an award winning screen writer, and his books are very visual and audible. They make you imagine you are really there. (it would, in fact, make a fantastic movie)
However, Kelly's father in the book passed away a year ago, but she can hear him talking to her in her mind (giving her advice about clue's) which may bother some parents. There was one "D" word in the book when someone got mad.
But I would reccomend this boook to my friends and family. I can't wait for the second in the series. Nice work Mr. Perry!!!!
