Ultimately, I didnt really love the main character so it didnt get 4 stars. The story was INCREDIBLY vivid - the town, the characters. She is clearly a verybgidted writer

This is the second in the Emma Graham series and winds up the first mystery ...and Emma enjoys herself way too much at the end...but I guess she deserves the fun.
Waiting for the third to come out in ebook. I read the 4th book some time back, but I'm not sure I got it figured out. I was having trouble making it all come together. Probably been too long since I'd read the others.

This book and Hotel Paradise cover just a few weeks in the life of Emma Graham, age 12. This one starts a week after the first one ends.

Enjoyable to jump back into this world, but I felt as though much of the book we replodding over already discovered material from the first, and as much as I enjoyed reading Emma's amusing observations and day dreams, I did just want things to resolve a little faster. And then to find that there is still another book until we get a resolution, I was a little disappointed. Not to say that I won't read the third as soon as it is available from the library, but I'm not champing at the bit to read it like I thought I might be.
