BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - OPTIONAL
APPEALS TO: SOME
Since her mom died, 12yo Meg tried to get her father’s attention by doing worse and worse in school, but this has only landed her in a boarding school that the kids call Last Chance Academy, for troubled but wealthy and smart students. Meg’s not really interested in making friends, but there are only 3 other kids in her age group. When a mysterious invitation for a treasure hunt arrives, with a prize that Meg really wants, she is determined to be the first to the prize.
I was expecting more intrigue and excitement - the blurb compares it to Only Murders in the Building. Instead it is a puzzle-solving book, no blood or death involved. Fans of The Westing Game or Gollywhopper Games could enjoy this.
