A good little series...I had the second book and picked it up right after I finished the first. It's not grisly, it's not all hyped up, it's just a nice bit of writing and mystery that don't take too long to read. I'm liking the detectives, Kolla and Brock, they are a good team without being too cutesy. For those who like British mysteries and police procedures. ]]>

A great fable for kids who think themselves different or strange. In this book, that's the best thing to be! Seems a bit Snicket because of the illustrations, but very enjoyable. ]]>

I finally finished! That's not a great start to a review, but I am relieved. I enjoyed the story and the characters, but the writing was very dense and it was a more difficult read that I think I could have been. The characters each get their own chapter and their parts of the story so when you move on to the next chapter you go back a bit in the story and sometimes I lost the thread. I don't know if I'll be reading the next one. I guess I'll decide if one crosses my path. ]]>

This book reminded me that I loved Jennifer Weiner. Her stories may be simple, but the people are complex and her style is quick and easy. I was crying at the end, but I could just be sleep deprived. Still good. ]]>

Great series for kids who like adventure and fairy tales. I'll be looking for the others and sending copies to my niece. ]]>

A great supernatural thriller for kids. Great illustrations for all the characters. A new fable for the ages. ]]>

Tried a little too hard to be hard boiled and while I enjoyed the bookselling aspect of it, it was already dated. I don't know if I'll read any more. ]]>
