Awesome

Awesome book. It's about a young girl, Madigan, who lost her mother when she was a baby and her father ran away. One day a stranger comes to town and he needs a place to stay. She thinks that he might be her dad by the way he acts around her and the way he looks like her. He's really a robber. Madigan finds out. She's very upset. He catches her spying on him when he is hiding stolen goods, and he grabs her. The best part of the book is her escape. A very exciting story that keeps you guessing at every page. I think this author writes amazing books. I really enjoy her mysteries.

A Good Mystery for Teens!

I first read this book when I was twelve years old, and now that I'm 15, I still enjoy it. There is a strong plot, interesting characters, and a few mysteries. This would be a good book for ages 11-14.
