Goodreads: 4.0
This book is a good addition to a zany middle-grade mystery series. Like the other books it has lots of fun history references, random plot twists, and interesting characters. I really like how the recurring characters are continually being developed throughout the series. This book focuses a lot on Neil's development and his becoming more mature and more aware of his own shortcomings. I also like this book a bit better than the last couple books in the series because it was more focused on the mystery and less on the drama between characters. There was still a good bit of drama, but not nearly as much. The main thing I have to complain about this book was the ending, which contained a rather depressing cliffhanger. I'm sure it'll be swiftly taken care of in the next book, but it was a rather abrupt end to an otherwise good book.
