I really enjoyed this book. I like how it’s written as it never got boring and when a character was feeling a particular emotion I felt it too.
This is a story about family, doing the right thing and standing up to bullies.
Nancy -the main character- is determined, brave and will stop at nothing when righting wrongs. She’s accompanied in the book by her friend Burch and Violet her little sister. You’ll join these characters as they try and solve the mysteries piling up. This fascinating story is based in the Edwardian era in Suffolk at the time Halley’s comet (a comet that passes Earth every 75 to 76 years) was approaching the globe.
I loved how there were a lot of details about how it would have been in those days.
This gripping story is written by the author of The garden of lost secrets and The house of one hundred clocks.
The mystery of the night watchers is an exciting,new book, great for fans of The good thieves by Katherine Rundell.
