It was a little predictable, but the story wasn’t bad overall. I think that the author did a great job providing a few red herrings in the story, and I also think that there were some interesting points in the story. I also think that some of the social commentary embedded within the story was spot on. I do, however, feel as though the narrator’s perspective is shoddy sometimes, and I think that the author could have tied up some random loose ends once the mystery was solved. Overall, I think tweens would like this book and have fun figuring out what happened to Alice.
