The sequel to Down the Rabbit Hole picks up with Ingrid trying to figure out what's going on with her brother and her father, in addition to competing in MathFest (a punishment from her math teacher), playing soccer, and acting as Dorothy in a local production of a scene from the Wizard of Oz. By the end of the book, she has gotten to the bottom of some mysteries but other situations are left unresolved.

"Behind the Curtain" by Peter Abrahams is a mystery targeted to a YA audience. The kid sleuth is 13-year-old Ingrid who observes odd goings-on in her family and school. At one point she is even kidnapped, although the motivation for this is a bit muddy. Actually, the whole plot is a bit muddy. An entertaining mystery but not out-standing.

Enjoyable little mystery with a convincingly 13-yo protagonist possessing a precocious streak. Lots of hijinks, the broader family story is developed, Ingrid grows a little savvier as she stumbles through unravelling another mystery and it has a satisfying conclusion. I think the denouement could’ve been stretched out a litttllle longer. Felt rushed.
