This book is about a 13-year-old girl named Ingrid who plays soccer and reads the famous stories of Sherlock Holmes. She lives in a quite town and longs to play the lead role of Alice in the community theaters production of Alice in Wonderland. But when Ingrid's literally brand new friend suddenly is murdered, she'll have to find the murderer they find her, and before the police start pointing fingers at Ingrid herself!
Let me start off by saying this was actually a good book for kids. They labeled it as young adult but really there was really no violence and the author didn't go into the murder to deeply. He just briefly skimmed it without much detail. Although, there wasn't much violence they did have a creepy character and there definitely was suspense. As for romance, I will tell you to that there is a guy in this book that is Ingrid's age but he's only there because she's a teenage girl and has crushes. It was also pretty complected being a mystery so this might not be for kids under maybe 12. I think this book was also good for teenagers and adults too. Even though Ingrid is 13, she sounds more mature then she is and interacts with a lot of adults. The book was well written and very clever. It also ties in with Alice in Wonderland and there is a hidden meaning between the stories.
This book is a great book for preteens to young adults and does not fail to please the audience with mystery, suspense, and a good moral.
