  • Science Fiction, Mystery



The setting of the book takes place in Bethany's aunt's house in Sander Field, Illinois. Bethany is a 12 year old girl who has wears glasses, has blond hair and hazel eyes. One day, Bethany is taken away from her home and she travels with her parents to Sander Field which supposedly belongs to her long lost aunt Myrlie. Aunt Myrlie does not have modern technology in her house such as cell phones or a good computer. Bethany convinced he aunt to tell her about the big secret between her and Bethany's parents. Bethany's aunt Myrlie is a 50 year old widower who lost her husband in a car wreck along with her niece. I think the most exciting part is the mystery and suspense because when something happens you want to keep reading on to find out what is going to happen next!

Overall, the story was very creative and the description of the characters were very detailed but there were some downsides. First of all, some parts didn't make sense to me when I read them and there were some vocabulary words that were hard to understand. But the mystery and suspense made me keep on reading to find out the resolution to the situation. The author's effort and creativity really showed in the plot and the stories of the characters.

I recommend this book to people who like to read mystery and science fiction stories because the book is based on a family secret that Bethany has to figure out. I think if people want to read this book they might need a wide vocabulary because of the difficult words in the book. If people are considering reading this book than I am definitely saying read it!, but you should consider other people's opinions on what they think of the book to make a final decision. So READ it! There is a great lesson to be learned! Hope you enjoy the book like I did!!
