I purchased this book before taking a trip to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina with my kids (6 and 3). Each night I read a few chapters from the book. It was entertaining enough to keep even the 3 year old occupied and my 6 year old would beg for more chapters. I was surprised at the educational value of the book. I expected it to tell us a few things about the estate but the level of detail was impressive!

My daughter loves mystery books, and this book hit the mark for her. We need to plan a trip to the Biltmore House soon (which she has never seen before)!

This resource guide is very helpful in planning an integrated unit around the Victorian time period. It is extremely user-friendly and creative. My son and I used the resource guide along with the chapter book for ideas to enrich an "expert project" on the Biltmore Estate for his academically gifted program. I ended up purchasing other Carol Marsh books after using this one.

I ordered this book for my oldest niece and I had to read it before I sent it to her. I live in Asheville NC near the Biltmore House and I wanted to see how the book was written. it was very well written and my niece was very excited about getting it for Christmas. It was the first book she started reading during the holdiays. very enjoyable book and I would definitely buy more by this author.
