Title: Solid juvenile mystery in a solid series
Product review: This is another fine book in this popular juvenile mystery series. The plot involves a mirror which is not only seemingly haunted but has attracted attention from more than one party. Our heroes have to sort all this out. Things get ugly with assault and kidnapping.In this book the limitations of not having your own transportation are really front and center. In previous books the various authors used various crutches to get around this - the junkyard truck, the rented Rolls-Royce, etc. In this book the plot requires all the stops to be pulled out. Taxi rides abound and even a commercial bread truck gets worked in.The artwork is handled by Jack Hearne. A capable artist but one misses Harry Kane. M. V. Carey's text is well up to her usual standards.The page count is down from the standard set in the earlier books. It is about 150 pages instead of 180 pages.Great stuff for young and old. Younger readers might find it a bit dated.
