When your the new kid in town, already being laughed at for having a name like Hero, and have a popular, beautiful sister, one of the last things you may want to hear is that your house has a million-dollar nacklace hidden in it with a big mystery hidden behind it. Although for Hero that was the case. On the first day of 6th grade Hero could already tell she was going to have a hard time making friends, but that was only true at school, once she got home she met a older woman next door who shows her the mystery of her house. Oddly the old lady seems to know a lot about it, and when the most popular boy in school wants to help with the mystery of the necklace, life gets interesting.
-Pages: 243
-Age: 10 and up (no inappropriate content, time line and plot can be hard to follow)
-Reader Type: Realistic, Mystery
-Our Rating: This book was great, we usually don't read mystery but this was an exception. We enjoy the fact that it took you though history and taught you about William Shakespeare, Anne Boleyn, Queen Elizabeth the 1st, and Edward de Vere. Although a great book, the plot, character and time line, like we said can be a little confusing sometimes. It might be a little hard to understand for younger readers, but altogether a really good mystery.
