"Mr. Struthers does a wonderful job stirring curious histories and cryptic architecture into a suspenseful and fast-paced cauldron of mystery. As the main character wakes to a newly discovered love of literature, so does the reader to a completely original and well-written tale. I'll be testing this book with my students during the next quarter and look forward to watching them live through every twist and turn."

"Takes the reader on a journey of suspense and mystery coupled with devotion and loyalty you can only find in a best friend. The progression of the details keeps the reader interested until the last page. It leaves you feeling good and sets up the series for many more titles to come. Very enjoyable."

"The students were really into the mystery aspect of the book and loved the adventure that was entwined within the story. I definitely feel that this book would be great for middle school readers, and while it is an enticing book for boys, most of my girls really enjoyed it just as much."
