Editorial Reviews

Gr 4–6—Nikki and Travis Taylor-Michaelson's two mothers are the new owners and innkeepers of Candlestone Inn in Vermont. When the siblings begin to notice that valuable items are disappearing daily, they decide to investigate. Could one of the guests be the culprit? Or could their inn be haunted? The book is fast paced and fun. Garden introduces well-developed secondary characters, many of whom have a motive (or so the children believe) for stealing the antiques. Readers will find themselves trying to solve the case along with Nikki and Travis. A good addition to mystery collections.—Sarah K. Allen, Elko Middle School, Sandston, VA
