Absolutely loved this story. This is one of the few books that works for both girls and boys, and for readers and non-readers alike. Loved the diverse characters and plot twists! Great read

This was a fun book--an updated Nancy Drew type of mystery. Main character Katrina is a spunky heroine with a lot to deal with. There's her opposite, sloppy twin Kiara, and then there's the boy she's got a crush on. Plus, her divorced mom is dating, and she's not happy. To make matters worse, the boy she's crushing on just happens to be her mother's boyfriend's son. To complicate things even more, strange neighbors have moved into the gated community, leading Katrina and her friends into a mystery.

I loved Katrina's funny group of friends and the diversity of her neighbors. This was a fun middle grade read with plenty of unexpected twists!
