Our Review

This classic mystery delivers exactly what longtime fans expect from the seriesβ€”a straightforward treasure hunt with the dependable Alden siblings at the helm. When their neighbor Lina enlists their help to find a potential fortune hidden in her dusty attic, Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny jump into action, only to discover they have unexpected competition for the prize. The plot moves at a steady, accessible pace, making it an easy and comfortable read for those familiar with the children's problem-solving adventures.

The novel's strength lies in its comforting formula and the children's unwavering resourcefulness and teamwork as they follow the clues. While the mystery itself is not overly complex, the gentle suspense of competing treasure hunters adds a welcome layer of intrigue. Young readers who enjoy cooperative sleuthing and tidy resolutions will find this a satisfying addition to the long-running series, proving that some literary adventures are timeless.
