This is a children's book? Adult me found it confusing at times and I read it while listening to the charming audiobook. Boy, I found myself looking for chapter guides to make things make sense and I never do that before finishing. It just had too many characters and they are all-over the place jumping in and out of the story before I had the chance to digest the action. I wanted to be fulfilled by a simple mystery here and I finished the book disappointed. I was surprised that it took me so long to finish this because of all the rereading I did.
