What a fun read for those who like English and math, especially girls. It's a mystery that surrounds an estranged family and needs math/geometry amongst other things to solve. There are many references to Charles Dickens and Great Expectations throughout the book. The dialogue is fast-paced. Like several others who have reviewed this book, I can't wait for the second installment. Great fun!
Four girls who attend a private all-girl Catholic school stumble upon a mystery and proceed to solve it through a variety of efforts and with different "helpers" along the way. It's just another reminder that things aren't always what they seem.
Genre: contemporary realistic fiction; mystery/detective story
Topics: mystery, estranged family, math, geometry, Pythagorean Theorem, Charles Dickens, Great Expectations, private school, Catholicism, artists, school dance, liking a boy, ancient artifacts, friendship, jealousy
