Another outstanding book by one of the best writers of the History Mystery Books published by American Girl (AG). Great to read further adventures about Kit Kittredge, the AG who grew up during the great depression. Also always enjoy a good mystery. Is being read now by my 25 year old daughter, who will then read it to my 5 year old granddaughter --this book appeals to 3 generations! Wish my parents were alive to have read it... This mystery is for any age and is a 10+++++++.
