Ada's imperious grandmother has absolutely shut the Wollstonecraft Detective Agency down--until they get a case from a princess, that is. The princess Alexandrina Victoria, age 9 (who will grow up to be Queeen Victoria), is the most closely watched girl in England. She is never alone. Every morsel she eats is catalogued. Every visitor overseen. Every move noted down. She has but one thing of her own--a sketchbook she uses as a secret diary, where she records her private thoughts in code. But now, somehow, that sketchbook has disappeared. And so the princess enlists Ada and Mary to figure out what has happened to the sketchbook without arousing the suspicions of her minders. A most clandestine case indeed! One that will involve breaking into Kensington Palace and uncovering a host of surprising royal secrets... This funny, Christmas-time romp of a caper will delight history and mystery fans alike. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I enjoyed the different characters of Ada and Mary. I felt that Ada was the focal point of this book with Mary following. I felt that both characters were distinct and came off well. It took no time to get to know their mannerisms and feel like I understood them.
The historical details were fun, (Queen Victoria really did have a little Spaniel named Dash, though he was tri-colour), but I don't think any historical understanding is needed to follow the story. There are short facts at the end that could be a good launch point into famous figures in literature. ( )
