Synopsis:
Crack the codes. Find the treasure and escape the house. Simple, right? Well...
My review:
Before I even start this review, I have to point to the cover. I am not usually a pick up book because of its cover kind of gal but, oh, my heart! I mean, look at that cover! It called to me and I took it home before I ever knew what it was about.
The book starts off with a triad group that loves doing escape rooms but finds themselves in a mysterious fun house full of mystery, intrigue, codes, and plain foolery. This house was built in the 1950's by a set of triplets who intended on the house, a circus-like house, to be a public spectacle. The house never opened but that did not stop this group of kids to try to unlock each floor mystery, 16 floors in all, to win the ultimate prize, a prize only just a few had tried. However, my dear readers, I would not begin to tell you what that is or spoil the entire book. If that is not enough, the author also weaved in the personalities and secrets that each friend has kept which surprisingly, matched the character of each triplet. This is a must read!
This book was such a page turner for me! If you have ever liked an old fashioned circus fun house, the fun of escape rooms, or just plain mystery, then this is the book for you. The author took all of these themes and mashed them into one great book!
5 stars!

Lindsay Currie is the author of six middle grade novels, Including The Peculiar Incident on Shady Street, Scritch Scratch, What Lives in the Woods, The Girl in White, and It Found Us. She grew up on Nancy Drew and loves a good mystery. Bonus points if it's spooky! When she's not writing, Lindsay can generally be found looking for an adventure of her own. She loves researching the forgotten history in her city, Chicago, taking long walks with her family, and as pretty much everyone knows . . . Disney World!
