Twin Sisters Livingston
by Mary Knight
Children's Mystery
4/5 stars
Synopsis - Twin sisters Maddie and Jo Livingston have spent their lives traveling the world with their famous archaeologist parents. But when the Livingstons’ work takes them on a mysterious year-long excavation in Siberia, much too dangerous for two twelve-year-old girls, Maddie and Jo are whisked off to a castle in Switzerland, where they find themselves piecing together a mystery of their own.
Madame Molineaux’s School for Girls is filled with interesting students and professors from all over Europe. But it doesn’t take long for the girls to figure out that this is no ordinary boarding school: bizarre animals, hidden tapestries, secret tunnels, and a long list of unanswered questions keep Maddie, Jo, and their new friends searching for clues around every corner. Where is that snotty Rosemary Byron going when she sneaks out of her dormitory at night? What secret is their beloved headmistress trying to protect? Who is concealing treasures in the unlikeliest of hiding places? The girls must put all these strange pieces together to discover the staggering truth, and to save their school before Madame Molineaux’s closes its doors—for good!
Review - I was immediately drawn to this because the cover reminded me of Nancy drew. This is the first in a middle grade series and it’s a fun mystery! It takes place at a school with magical vibes. I think kids will really love this. I enjoyed the writing style a lot, it’s just over 400 pages but didn’t feel it. Can’t wait to read the next in the series.
