received a copy to facilitate my review. The opinions expressed here are my
own.
This is the
first book I have read by this author. There is so much to love. First we have
the Bland sisters named Jaundice and Kale. From the minute I saw their names I knew
this would be a very unusual book. This is a humorous mystery book with
allusions to Murder on the Orient Express.
The girls go to meet their aunt at the train station. They are snatched
as assistants to the magician Magique, Queen of Magic. While on the train
Magique disappears and they are assisted by the famous detective Hugo Fromage,
in finding her. I loved that the characters are very bland yet their adventures
are completely the opposite. I felt like I was reading a book very similar to
the Lemony Snickett series, which I loved. I have read so many serious books
lately that this was a refreshing break. This is a fun and quirky book that I
highly recommend.
