A little spooky but not scary

I'm so glad this book came out in time for October! It isn't Halloween-themed, but there are bats and pumpkins and cider and talk of a ghost. It's a very slightly spooky mystery without being scary—perfect for my nephew, who really doesn't enjoy scary things. The evening colors in the illustrations were beautiful and I enjoyed seeing Abbi, who we met in The Absent Alpacas (though I think I heard that she was a character in the original A to Z Mysteries series), in her own home: a castle! There's a moat, a forest, an ocean, and a broken elevator, meaning Abbi is stuck on the first floor. I really appreciated that this problem was a big part of the plot and that we got to see how the broken elevator made Abbi feel and limited where she could go in her own home (even though it is a castle). Another fantastic read in the A to Z Animal Mysteries series!
