If you love Harry Potter, this book is for you! It still has fantasy and magic, but characters are more modern and relatable characters.

I love any mystery book so this was great. It might seem long but it’s so interesting I sped through it. I found this at the library, so I don’t need to choose it this month, but I would definitely recommend it to mystery lovers everywhere.
Also, check out the author’s other books!
