I remember loving this book as a middle school student, and it holds up as an adult. The pun names, especially the narrator Lily Watson solving mysteries while writing to her 6th grade teacher S. Holmes, made the book an engaging read. I combed through the text for Easter eggs while the plot held my attention. I love a good epistolary novel, and the fun ephemera like the news paper columns, ads, and tickets make the book very engaging. Klise does a wonderful job showing a variety of perspectives throughout the narrative.
