Midnight Magic by Avi

4.0

I first read this in fifth or sixth grade, and--after spying a used and heavily discounted copy at Second and Charles--I revisited it recently as a trip down memory lane.

In terms of plot, it isn't quite as good as I thought it was back then. The plotline definitely invokes common tropes.

However, the characters are charming and engaging, and the witty sayings that Fabrizio keeps mentioning are fantastic.

This has a fond place in my heart since it's probably the first mystery I ever read.
