Eleven-year-old April never stays in homes for long, but she knows her mom is coming for her…eventually. But when April joins the kids at Winterborne Home, things are different–especially when April discovers the long lost Winterborne heir, hiding in the cellar. Soon unexpected danger appears and April and the other children have to use all their resources to keep Gabriel Winterborne alive WITHOUT letting any of the other adults know he is back.
This lighthearted middle grade story has so many elements for readers to enjoy: a set of misfit kids, an old family mystery, danger and intrigue, and spy gadgets. Ally Carter displays her usual style of humor and mystery, but this time for a younger audience. This is a great read for tweens of all types.
Recommended ages–10 and up
