The World-Famous Nine by Ben Guterson
3.0
Very fun read. My main problem with it is kinda the problem I have with all kids books in this magical adventure genre, and that is none of the adults seem too concerned for the kids safety. Like, I understand that the author needed the kids to not be seen as disobeying for trying to figure out the mystery, but the grandma was almost too excited to have her grandson and his friend solve the problems for her.
Other than that, really fun main characters. And the setting was as magical as any other setting, from Hogwarts to the chocolate factory. I also liked that it seemed for the most part like a real place with minor magical elements.
