The book was refreshing—it had a unique plot and a host of engaging, interesting characters for whom the reader immediately is empathetic to. The characters were diverse, and the book showed many of the wonders of the city. Overall, it's perfect for a bit of light reading. I can't wait to get the next one in the series, and look forward to seeing how things develop for this team of intelligent, vivacious students.The Red Blazer Girls, by Michael Beil, is the kick-off to a series that has so far pleasantly surprised. It features a group of scarlet-clad thirteen year olds (Sophie, Margaret, Becca, and Leigh Ann), who stumble upon their first case while in the vast, drafty old church directly next to their school—St. Veronica's. they meet and elderly lady living alone in an apartment next to the church. She recently found, tucked inside a dusty, leather-book, a note. From her late father to her estranged daughter, Caroline, the note contained the first clue to a treasure hunt meant for Caroline when she turned thirteen. The woman enlists the girls' help in following the clues. Their chase will lead them to a prize grander than they ever imagined—the only problem is, they're not the only ones searching for it.
