The first delightful installment in an alphabetical series for middle-grade readers, this story reminded me of the classic children's literature fantasists I read as a child, such as John Bellairs, Lloyd Alexander, and C. S. Lewis, yet in a very contemporary setting. The characters are appealing, there's plenty of adventure both solo and team, and mysteries galore. I recommend it!
