A fun and chaotic adventure on a quick-witted, smart, strong and daring group of girls uncovering a mystery linked to magical and otherworldly animals, secret tunnels, riddles, and sneaking out in the middle of the night. A great read for anyone craving a fast-paced, humorous read with just a tinge of emotion.

For this book, you will not so much read it as feel it. It is all about the emotions behind a young girl in Ireland whose parents give her up to another couple to raise for a summer while the young girl’s mom has yet another baby. You will experience what it feels like to go and live with strangers, then to come to love them, only to discover that they had lost a young boy of their own. Then you will experience the sadness on everyone’s part as the young girl is taken back home to her parents so she can start school. But there may be a happy ending in sight.

I understand that this is one book in a series and so I don’t know well all the characters, but this book is just not believable. From what I gather, this is a group of people, some of whom have military or special services training and some who do not, but all of whom work together to help people.
