Out of the “missing” (the final
book for each girl that never went to print) books of this series, this was one
I was most looking forward to reading. While it didn’t really feel like a
mystery-mystery (where you’re trying to find out who the trouble-marker/criminal
is), it was still a fun and light read.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this
author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
