I LOVE Julie Klassen, and was SO excited to get to read this book!
I LOVED the characters, and the family of boys! :) It was neat to see them interact.. but I was kind of disappointed in the book, compared to her other books. It was great, just not up to snuff of her earlier ones. The mystery angle they play in the trailer was really good, but not typical of her previous writing. I confess it took a LONG time to reveal the answer in the book and that made it a harder book to read slowly! :) But the answer was amazing and worth it. ;)
I also had a hard time following the climax.. it seemed to be pretty choppy. Maybe it was just me.
But the ending was happy, the plot line was good, and the characters were amazing! It just didn't seem to draw me into it as much as her other books did.
But still, a 4 out of 5 stars. ;)
And as a bonus.. she is a fellow Minnesotan! Klassen resides in St.Paul. I've always secretly wanted to meet her! :) My absolute favorite book of hers is the "Silent Governess" SO good.
