If you are a fan of girl detective stories, you will probably like
this book. One of the reasons that I enjoyed the book is that I learned
something about pirate eye patches I had never heard before. And I
discovered New Jersey has more geography than I expected. Several words
were placed in a glossary at the back of the book to help readers that
might not yet have an extensive vocabulary. I was a little puzzled by
some of the choices of which words went into the glossary and which did
not. 'Moderate' made the cut, but not meandering. Not a big deal. I also
like the links at the end of the book for kids who just might want to
look up more about things mentioned in the book. I think this would make
a sweet gift for the middle grader girl in your life.
