Series: Agatha Oddly #1
Author: Lena Jones
Publisher: Harper Collins Children's Books
My rating: ★★★★☆
If you're looking for a totally fun mystery middle grade book, look no more!
The Secret Key is the very first novel in a brand new series by Lena Jones revolving around the adventures of Agatha Oddlow, a thirteen-year-old girl who's addicted to crime novels and wishes nothing more than to become a detective. And, she kind of is, already!
Due to her father's job, she lives in a small cabin in Hyde Park, which also happens to be the center of a few mysterious happenings. When things escalate and London's water supply is contaminated by a toxin, Agatha steps in to save the day!
An exceptionally-written novel, which kept you the readers in agony about what is going to happen next, how Agatha is going to get past each obstacle and what is really going on behind the scenes.
Considering this was the debut book of Lena Jones, I can't emphasize enough how impressed I was and how excitedly I'm waiting to read on in the series, as well as the future works of the author.
Our heroine is awesome, brilliant and accurately named after Agatha Christie. She is the perfect introduction to the famous crime novelist for young readers, who will grow up reading more mystery adventures!
I know, for one, I was captivated, mesmerized and set on reading the rest of Agatha Oddly's great adventures!
I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an e-arc, in exchange for an honest review.
