This is the second middle grade book by Konigsburg that I’ve read. She’s such a wonderful writer.

What’s interesting is both this one and the last one I read (The Outcasts of 19 Schuyler Place) start off with an adult character rather than the main kid character. This book didn’t really have one main kid character (it had four), so it didn’t bother me as much with this book, although it still took me a little bit to get into it.

But even so, I very much enjoyed the story and getting to know the characters (even the adults).
