Rating: 5/5 Stars
Reviewer: Denise Z.
Summary: During
the summer before ninth grade, intrepid Gilda Joyce invites herself to the San Francisco mansion of
distant cousin Lester Splinter and his thirteen-year-old daughter, where she
uses her purported psychic abilities and detective skills to solve the mystery
of the mansion's boarded-up tower.
Review: This book
sparked my interest because I was wondering how the idea of a psychic
investigator would be geared towards young readers. I think Jennifer Allison
did a great job of keeping interest for both the young and old reader. This is
a mysterious and funny book with a loveable and relatable main character that
young girls can relate to and appreciate. The book is quite well-written and is
a great alternative for a young reader who enjoys mysteries and the paranormal
or loves reading Harriet the Spy books. I would recommend this series for ages
10 and up.
