Nicely done. A tight little mystery that resolves in 240 pages without feeling rushed or forced. Some suspense and intrigue without being scary or violent. Lots of fun word play - twins Dot and Dash Morse, 5 kids named in alphabetical order, a disagreement over "manning," "childing," or "youthing" a popcorn stand. Some fun book references including a sneaky one about cat teleportation that is a nod to Elana K Arnold's The House That Wasn't There. Solid pick for advancing readers ready to keep track of clues or a family read aloud. And Audio book is very well done.
