Caroline B Cooney

Advantages: Concludes the series nicely, as usual well written and entertaining
Disadvantages: Not the end I would have wished for

...;s nicer to have the background. So if you have a child of a suitable age, say 10 or 11 assuming they’re a fluent enough reader, why not get them the Milk Carton one to start them off, and see what they think.

Disadvantages: I'm too old to be reading it, and too young to have suitable aged kids to read it to

...even more attention to herself. Obviously she knows something about that weekend, and the police are determined to find out what. That’s pretty much the first 2 pages for you.

Advantages: Gripping, compelling, classic Cooney!
Disadvantages: Again, much too short at only 200 pages
