My Review: The cover of this book caught my attention at the library, and I decided to try it out. I was not expecting it to be SO good! I totally recommend this book! It’s a great mystery with quirky and lovable characters. 

My Takeaway: This story is about how an unloved girl discovers her true family, and an un-likely team sets out to solve a mystery. Parents might want to be aware that Tabitha’s parents can be mean to her, and that some scenes in this book have a dark feeling to them that might frighten some children.
