review 1: As someone else mentioned, I kept thinking of Agatha Christie as I read this. The mystery just KEPT going, and the characters got more and more complex. The setting, the amazingly smart children, and the mystery of smuggling all roll together to make this a fun-but-challenging read for any middle school kid. Even better, the family is intact and loving, and the son is dealing with the fact that he is adopted from China, so personal matters come into play in what could be a novel that is entirely plot-driven. You care about the characters AND the plot. An impressive achievement.
review 2: Terrific kid-centered novel with a twist at the end that will come as a surprise to readers who were thinking this was your standard-issue mystery. This mystery has the classi... morec and hugely appealing situation of a cast of characters trapped in one mysterious inn during a snowstorm at Christmas, told from the point of view of one of the residents of the inn, thoughtful and complicated 12-year-old Milo. Good stuff. less
