The Order of the Owls by Elisa Puricelli Guerra

4.0

This was adorable. If little Orphan Annie and Veronica Mars had a cousin, it would be Minerva Mint. This book is full of charm, and it's interesting (which is something I struggle with sometimes with middle grade fiction). There are a great deal of literary tropes roped together here in a new and exciting way. We have an orphan, a wreck of a house in an isolated location, absent adults, mysterious hidden rooms, and three kids with pluck. Yay to diversity as well. This series is win, and I can't wait for the next two titles.
