I loved the setting of this book. The description could be just as beautiful as the cover. The story also deftly shows the strong connections between the Nomeolvides women and how they affect the relationships of those outside of their family.

A solid middle grade mystery. It had some tense moments and funny moments. I personally appreciated seeing the boys navigate their crushes much like I had when I was around their age. However, evidence was often found out of nowhere. There were some Canadian monuments mentioned, but they were not discussed in great detail.
