The Mystery of Locked Rooms - by Lindsay Currie Hardcover

My 11 year old daughter loves this book and is eager to read the sequel that just came out. At first, my daughter listened to it on audio book because she was a bit intimidated but the length. (I also got to listen to pieces and got to hear many of the chapters). She enjoyed it so much that she read it again on print and throughly enjoyed the story for a second time. She recently bought it for a gift exchange at school. I would say a great choice for an older elementary to middle school aged reader.

The Mystery of Locked Rooms is the perfect book for these times. Escape rooms are so enormously popular that an adventurous novel of this kind is a fabulous choice for many ages. I found it hugely entertaining, and I am sixty-six! Lest that deter you from purchasing it for younger (much younger!) people, I have grandchildren who can't wait for this book to be published. The story centers on three close friends, two girls and a boy, who love escape rooms and are extraordinarily good at them. One girl's family falls on difficult times, and the three decide to find out if the legend of a local abandoned funhouse is true. The attraction was never opened but is rumored to have a treasure for anyone who makes their way to the end. This escape house is the grandest and most rigorous of the genre, and the trio have monumental escapades within its walls. Lindsay Currie has outdone herself with this spectacular novel.
