I loved this book! It grabbed me right from the very beginning, 1st page. I couldn't wait to find out what happened. It was a little coincental and maybe contrived (?not sure that's exactly the word I'm looking for) that both girls came home on the same day, not to mention right when the "aunt" is getting things set up for a reality tv series about the family. Although it is explained by the Dad's b-day and upcoming anniversary of his death, it's still a little iffy. But that would be my only negative about this book. It was great, Cooney does it again!
