About the Book
In award-winner Philbrick's new page-turning mystery, Arthur "Bash Man" is the school thug, paid with candy to bully and threaten other students. When genius orphan Darius Drake employs Arthur to help him discover the origin of a suspicious threat, written in blood, they uncover a mystery that involves Darius's estranged grandfather, who was imprisoned for forging evidence in a search for a long-lost diamond necklace worth millions. The boys make the dangerous decision to search for the jewels themselves -- and in the process, they discover that the car crash that killed Darius's parents was not an accident at all. Who will be next?
My Take on the Book
My daughter love a great mystery and you get just that in this fun book. The author does a great job at keeping you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end as you try and determine who did it. There is a great mix of clues, mis-directions and more as you go through this book, but in the end you are brought on a fun ride for any reader. You also get a great mix of characters. The author has really developed the characters well and the relationships between characters really move the story along.
