The mystery part of the plot is exceptional, and the author presents it in an exciting, fresh story The kids are definitely trying to solve a mystery, but you don't get the feel that this is a detective novel (a la Nancy Drew). The story has everything you want in a great mystery: suspense, strong characters, and twists.
