I have to admit that chocolate flavored rhubarb is a bit enticing. You get chocolate but it is really a vegetable. I liked 11 year old Polly and how she evolved and came out of her shell. I wish Basford would have been stronger. You always have the "bad girl" and this time it was Jongy which always adds a good element for readers. I wanted her father's research to become more prominent and to me the farm is nice but all those millions to sell. I would think long and hard before passing that up.
The magic element was a little over the top for me as I like every loose end to be tied and for every situation to eventually have a logical if not scientific reason.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The heroine is multifaceted and the reader feels her successes and disappointments acutely. The plot is clever, and there is enough character development for the reader to become invested in the characters. Overall a great read.
This was an interesting read. I listened to it on audio while trying to fall asleep, which is probably why it was such an interesting read. Parts of it may have made for some interesting dreams.
This was a very entertaining book. This is a great mystery for middle school age even younger children.

I liked this, and I think tween girls will too.
