Would have been 4 stars, but this book winds up only being the introduction to the story, with no answers, which knocked it down to 3 stars. ( ) This book was so much fun. I was lucky enough to get an ARC from the folks at Simon & Schuster (THANK YOU) so I had the pleasure of reading this prior to its 04/06/10 release. It's the start to a new series that promises more fun to be had. You might even learn a thing or two along the way! Definitely recommended reading! This is book one in a series about Benjamin and his friend Jill. They attend the seaside Oakes School, which has stood for over two hundred years, but will be torn down within weeks. The town has sold the school land and some of the seaside land to a huge corporation that builds historical theme parks, so they'll be tearing down the actual history in order to build fake history. Ben comes across the school janitor, who has just broken his ankle on the school stairs. The old man presses a gold coin into Ben's hand and demands a promise that Ben will defend the school. From what, or how, becomes a mystery Ben and Jill have to solve on their own, as the janitor dies within hours. If I came across more from this series, I'd follow it. It's pretty smart, with researching clues and a very detailed boat race. I'm not sure that Andrew Clements writes a bad book. The only problem is that this is a series, and now we are going to have to wait to see what happens next—on more than one level: with the school, with Ben's parents, and with Jill. The Keepers of the School is a mystery, adventure story, but whoever thought that the school janitor would be the bad guy. Ben and Jill must unravel the mystery left to them by the former janitor in order to save their school from being torn down to make way for an amusement park. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
