I would enjoy reading this whole book because it involves many mysteries. I want to see how Mabel solves them alone and how she will find out her Uncle's motives.

This book is about Mabel finding herself in a mystery when both of her parents get called out of town, her Aunt gets thrown in jail, and her strange Uncle and his family move into her house claiming that Mabel's parents asked them to take care of her. It quickly comes clear to Mabel that her Uncle is looking for something in her house. She does not know who to trust as she has to solve all of these mysteries by herself.

This book is a good way to teach kids how to handle stressful situations. It is a fun way for them to learn about stress rather than being directly instructed on it. Kids love the idea of being secret agents so it is a good way to get their attention.
