A Skillfully Told and Riveting Tale
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is an all around great book for young adults. This book has mystery, suspense, and a bit of melodrama. Just the right mix to keep young adult readers transfixed. You keep on turning pages and the book pratically reads itself. Another well written book from a good author.
A Spine-tingling, Nail-biting, Hair-raising Good Read!

Like in her other book, "Bottles of Eight and Pieces of Rum", the author really shows how thoroughly her work is researched. This story of two orphaned sisters is set in San Francisco around the turn of the century. Not only is the relationship of the girls extremely well fleshed out and very moving, but the story-line itself is fast-moving, suspenseful and very exciting. I read this book for the purposes (in part) of making sure it was suitable for my 10 year-old to read. What I found was that not only was it suitable for my child, I couldn't put it down either. This is a moving, gripping story that is wonderfully written and entertaining. I highly recommend it to all ages, and for boys and girls alike.
Truly a Thriller!

I didn't know what was going to happen, I couldn't put the book down! I felt like I was in the book, like I was watching things happen-- like a spy, or something. The story was a mix of suspense, mystery, adventure and unexpected events! I liked how the two sisters worked together to come out of a really tight fix. I liked how the bad characters were really evil--it wasn't just a story, it was a real thing that could happen in life. The characters were really real and it was funny at times what they did, and sad too, sometimes. I like how the story was put together, because it was like a sandwich. It didn't just have bread, it had lots of everything in it (with a toothpick on top!). I would recommend this book for everybody!
