Amazing! I cannot get enough of this series.

This is a great continuation of the series and is just as exciting as the first.

Great characters, a fascinating case, and a cool mix of history and fiction. This is a perfect book for young readers. Included in the back of the book, as in book one, are some historical notes, which are easy to understand and bring a brilliant aspect to the fictional representations of the places and characters.

Stratford brings to life some compelling female characters, making this a fantastic series for girls, as well as boys. I highly recommend this series.
