I really don't know what I expected when I was intrigued by this book in the bookstore, but it was so much better than I expected it to be. The characters really came alive to me and the whole story was very interesting. The puzzles were interesting, and the solutions creative. I am really lookin...

One day I found a picture of this book on Tumblr. I saw the beautiful illustrations and the mysterious title, and I knew it. I knew I had to read it.
