The story has a mystery element that makes the reader want to keep going. The reader wants to know what happened to Edie’s family and why the box in the attic is such a secret. The author gives the reader a few clues to try to figure things out along with Edie.
This book is best for middle school readers, but older readers might like it too, especially if they enjoy stories about family, identity, and finding out who they are.
