Arcadia Greentree is an intelligent, sharply-observant teenager, who unusually — seems to be constantly tested with codes and puzzles at home and at school. Chesterman says he wrote this as a tribute to Sherlock Holmes. And I think teens will enjoy catching the clues and unraveling this mystery, down to the dancing men cipher.

Reading Chesterman is a bit of a geek fest, where he refers variously to Kant, asks social-moral-ethical questions as much as he touches on biology, anthropology and physics. 

Bookish tweens and teens will enjoy this mystery or if you’re like me, working through Chesterman’s fiction titles : you’ll enjoy the good old storytelling 📚📚 Best #singlit discovery this year!
