Avi is a great author with incredible versatility. Everything I've read of his is very good. This book is no exception. It is a really fun mystery that also explores the true value of books. I really enjoyed the little puzzle that the main characters have to figure out to solve the mystery. Lastly, the characters are fun and likable. I found it just a fun, short book to read that helped me remember what I really like about children's literature, and especially children's mysteries.
