But what they'll find in the hidden labyrinth of the school's underground tunnels is more than your average school supplies.

- What an Adventure
My mom got me this book expecting me to have something to read for the Summer. It would have been my favorite book of the Summer had I only waited for Summer! As soon as I got it, I read the first chapter and couldn't put it down. I finished the book a little less than two weeks. Everyday I read the series. I'm now on the second book.

My tween daughter read this and insisted I read it also.I throughly enjoyed reading it.
We have already ordered the next one in the series:)
Rating: - Absolutely Fabulous!
I loved this book. The characters are amazing and you really feel like you know them at the end of the book. It was suspenceful and interesting and fun. Mr. Benedict is a trustworthy man that I wish I knew and Milligan is reliable and always some one you can count on. I love all of the characters and events in this book and read the second book as well.

- Disappointing :(
Save you money or borrow it from the library. This was a book that appeared to have a lot of potential...but fell flat. The over-all idea was good, but it was not executed very well at all. The illustrations are darling, but that's about all the book has going for it. it was torture to force myself to read the entire thing. I will not be buying the sequel.
