Though Andrew Clements' books--the two that I've read--stop short of being five-star classics for me, I can't quite pinpoint what they're missing. This one, especially, has an engrossing plot, and it addresses themes of homelessness and veterans' issues without toeing a political party line or beating readers over the head. I also found the setting--a tiny Midwestern town on the brink of dying out in the corporate mega-farm age--refreshingly unexpected. I liked the protagonist and related to his ethical wrestling, and I appreciated the novel's meta-commentary on the appeal of mystery. So I think the missing piece is the same as what it was in Frindle. I think I was noticing the absence of well-developed child characters other than the protagonist. The protagonist of this book does have one peer his own age, but other than that, he's surrounded by adults. Clements portrays adults sensitively and realistically, but given that this is a children's book, I expected to be reading about children!

My class LOVED this book! It was perfect for our mystery genre unit in 4th grade.
