My only criticism of this book was that Cooper does not spend enough time putting E.J in her best element-her family. The interaction E.J. has with Willis, Vera, Luna, Grahm, Megan, and Bessie is what makes each of her books so special; to me the mystery plot is just an excuse to get these wonderful characters together. I hope that future Pugh books have more of this witty and real interaction than Not in My Backyard did.
