This mystery caught my eye because the cover looked reminiscent of the old Nancy Drew novels I read as a child. It turns out that "Chicken Girls" is already a very popular web video series, which I was unaware of and helps explain how sometimes I felt a little like I had accidentally skipped the first book in the series (rather than the truth that I was reading the first book in the series!). Still, for the most part, I felt like things were explained enough so that I didn't feel left out of the loop.
The mystery itself was pretty good; I sort of guessed at where it was going, but younger readers might not. Certain concepts (like deceased parents, the threat of foster care, etc.) could be a little scary for some readers, but overall this book is fine for children much younger than the protagonist's 13 years. (Depending on the individual reader's skill level and interests, I'd put the audience primarily between 8 and 12 years old.)
For the audiobook aficionado, Rachel Jacobs did an excellent job narrating this book.½
