Klaus and Violet have a long journey. Can they save Sunny? Find a parent that survived? Read the book to find out.
I really liked this book because it leaves you hanging, and you can't wait to read the next page. The author explains the book well. He also explains the bigger words. Most of the time I would read this instead of playing! There are only a couple of pictures but they are good when you see them.
I think that third grade and up should read this book. It's fun because the author explains the story well. If you like mysteries then you should read this book.
