The plot of this book was very engaging. The mystery was introduced within a few pages of beginning the book and created interest to continue to read. It had a definite conflict which was the mystery that the third graders were trying to solve. The mystery was one which the readers could try to solve on their own which made the plot more engaging. This was an example of a realistic fiction book. It was set in present day and the conflict and characters were realistic. The mystery was one which could have easily occurred in real life and the students in the book were very believable.
