Just for fun, this week is numbers in titles! This new one from Ben Guterson will appeal to fans of his well-loved Winterhouse series- it's set in a department store with secrets instead of a hotel. What others can you think of for #middlegrademonday?

There were some good things about this book. Like how inclusive the characters are or that the grandmother doesn't hide anything from Zander. But overall this book can't keep up with the Winterhouse series. Too many characters and the setting was confusing. I wasn't very invested in the story either. The pictures weren't mine either. Younger readers might enjoy it more than I did.
