Why didn't someone say, "Write more!"? That said, I, too, love that cover art. I'll probably check this out for my tween boy who loves a mystery.Katrina @ Callapidder Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502432103160398620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-46046940713409741832010-08-06T07:25:16.169-07:002010-08-06T07:25:16.169-07:00Maybe there was more to the book, and it's a c...Maybe there was more to the book, and it's a case of bad editing?Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664642293286996220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-49118566099704544492010-08-05T09:32:49.807-07:002010-08-05T09:32:49.807-07:00Hmm.

This sounds like a fascinating plot, and I agree about the cover art... Definitely raises my curiosity!

Because of you, not only have I read them, but so have 3 children that I know. You're an influencer!<br /><br />(Funny story about MBS: When I was at camp, a girl got sick. We had no TV, and she was sick of just laying there, but I remembered I had my copy of the first MBS in my car. I got it, and read the first few chapters to her...she was hooked! I of course sent it home with her to finish.)Ronnicahttp://ignoranthistorian.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-2372556129020114332010-08-04T08:51:31.401-07:002010-08-04T08:51:31.401-07:00Ack, frusterating!
