The Good: This finale of the Lizzie McGuire Mysteries series continues the traditions that made the earlier installments great. An original story; both familiar and new characters; a fun whodunit arc; good writing...what's not to like? As with the other books, fans of the original series will love this one.

The Bad: Nothing, really; it just wasn't spectacular.

Conclusion: Now that I've completed this book, I can say that I've read all of the Lizzie McGuire Mystery novels. It's been a fun journey, especially since the stories contained within the books are unavailable in any other form. If you love the groundbreaking Disney Channel sitcom, you have to give these books a try.

Jännittävä ja mysteerintäyteinen tarina, joka ratkesi oivallisesti. Erityiset aplodit sille, että juhlat toteutuivat vastoinkäymisistä huolimatta 75 dollarin budjetilla.

I just started watching Lizzie McGuire for the first time in about 15 years while working out on the treadmill, and I am loving it. So, naturally, I was determined to try and find some of the books to read as well. Unfortunately, my library only has about three books in the series, but better than none I guess.

This was SUPER cute, and I had a blast reading it. I also thought the author nailed the character’s “voices”, and I could hear them perfectly in my head whenever they had dialogue.

This series ended on a pretty good note, rather than the rainy conditions that the characters had here. I appreciated seeing Lizzie and the gang work a little more together compared to the past mysteries, and Maridan did fine with the characters exclusive here. The case was well-paced, the culprit was another one that I didn't expect (though there were some hints given), and aside from Lizzie trying to get Ethan to be her boyfriend-ish (even though at this stage it's never going to happen), all went well.

But overall, the series was okay. While there were some good books, there were quite a few duds. If you're a fan who grew up with Lizzie McGuire, I'd say pick up the first, sixth, and seventh mysteries. Possibly the second as well, since this book does make a mention of it. Otherwise, you're fine skipping the others.

Speaking of other Lizzie books, I wouldn't be opposed to reading more non-canon material. Let's see what I can find next!
