Weekend è un libro che ti cattura dalla prima pagina, mentre i ragazzi entrano a far parte della storia in compagnia di Flynn, uno strano ragazzo inglese che non era presente alla maledetta festa, e di un misterioso stregone messicano che li aiuterà a dipanare il mistero dell’avvelenamento di Robin.
Il romanzo ha un ritmo avvincente ed appassionante ed è una storia nella quale, più che mai, l'apparenza inganna.
Personalmente ritengo sia uno dei migliori libri di Pike.

Un giallo scritto in modo sapiente. Difficile smettere di leggerlo. Un libro per ragazzi ma una lettura perfetta per chi cerca una lettura veloce e intrigante. Consigliatissimo.✨✨✨
