Franklin Endicott and the Third Key: Tales from Deckawoo Drive, Volume Six by Kate DiCamillo

3.0

This new entry in the Mercy Watson spin-off series has promise, but never comes together as satisfactorily as I would have hoped. The writing is excellent, as always, and I appreciate how well DiCamillo incorporates vocabulary words into her work, making them comprehensible in context without sacrificing the luminous beauty of her prose. The story itself, however, seems a little bit lacking, and given the depth of the main character's anxiety, the happy conclusion seems too forced.
