I have been a little skeptical about this series, which is why I have yet to read it...and muddle is not encouraging.

It reminds me in some ways of CHASING VERMEER (so! many! random! coincidences!) but it's more of a "David Baldacci for fourth graders" thing. I like them, but in the same way I like Janet Evanovich -- good, mindless fun for an hour or so.

Oh, ok. That's good for those younger readers! And you have to have little mindless fun every once in a while, right?...
