This review is from: Ulysses Moore #3: House of Mirrors (Mass Market Paperback)

The third book in the Ulysses Moore series doesn't allow for any breathing space after the end of Long-lost Map. Jason, Julia and Rick continue to hunt for clues and artifacts that will hopefully reveal the secrets of the Doors to Time, but as they will discover, there are more secrets in Kilmore Cove than they could ever have imagined.

Given some extra time when their parents are delayed by the moving company, Jason and Julia put aside their sibling squabbles for the moment and together with their friend Rick, they set off on the trail of Oblivia Newton, the femme fatale who seems to at the root of all their troubles.

Their quest leads them to the Mirror House, an amazing feat of engineering involving solar panels, mirrors (naturally), lots of doodads and whatnots, and somewhere deep inside, a secret that Oblivia is prepared to move anyone or anything in her path to uncover.

The inventor of the house and aforementioned doodads and whatnots had disappeared some time before our story begins, and the young adventurers are faced with solving the mechanical puzzles that he left behind.

Packed with lots of action, intrigue and challenges, this is suitable for readers from 8 to about 12, but I would recommend reading book one and two before attempting this one.

I stumbled upon the first book, The Door to Time, when I ran out of books to read and it was on sale. I figured I'd give it a shot. Well, when I saw there was a second book, I immediately searched high and low. Again, low and behold, a third book. But I had such a hard time trying to find it. Finally, I was able to purchase House of Mirrors....and I am so glad I did! I love this series, and as an adult who loves to read, but is not one for sex, bad lanugage and gruesome murders in my stories, I am so happy to have found a series that is funny, easy to read, and still a little mysterious. I can't wait for the next book! I suggest this to everyone and anyone!!

purchased this book for my nephew but it looked so inviting i had to read it first. man, this is a good book for kids of any age. great mystery, you get suptle clues now and then, like you are almost right there in the bushes or on bikes with the kids trying to figure out the mystery of kilmoore cove. you jump aside when a motorcycle nearly runs you over, duck when owls fly over and around. a mysterious house on a moving platform called the house of mirrors built by a watchmaker. why is it full of nesting owls??? i found myself making notes like a detective since book 1# Door To Time. clean wholesome reading so parents don't worry on swear words or need not to know adult situations. this set of books is all child and young teen exciting reading. read it yourself and enjoy, but please remember to give it to the young reader to read. must get all 3 for the story continues as each book comes out. number 4# Land of Masks is coming out in may of 2008. the wait will be worth it.
