Review

"[T]he detective formula working at its best." ★★★★★ Emily Bearn, The Daily Telegraph

"Nancy Drew is a fine teen detective, I'm sure, but for a young sleuth who really delves into the thick of it, with a cynical voice and an eye for mathematical detail Alice Jones is your man (well, girl). Sarah Rubin brings a new heroine to the 2016 scene who's clued up on math and mystery for a fun and entertainingly written romp."-Louise Jones, Cuckoo Review

"Alice is a refreshingly original character who will appeal to both boys and girls. She thrives on using her brain and using logical reasoning. Relationships on all their forms are key to the story - perfect for those children at the 'moving on' stage! A must read for children in years 5-8, as well as adults!" -North Somerset Teacher's Book Award, Longlist Review

"A perplexing mystery with a savvy sleuth and unexpected outcome."-Kirkus

"What follows is as good a bit of detective fiction as you could want and it will certainly exercise young minds. There's a great supporting cast of friends and relations while, like the best independent crime-solvers, Alice has a mean line in deadpan delivery.

This should be snatched up by fans of the Wells and Wong mystery stories, and followers of Ruby Redfort." -Andrea Reece, LoveReading4Kids
