Welcome to Litsy!

Pretty sure this is the fastest I've ever clocked a #BookSpin, since "The Mystery of the Talking Skull" was my New Year's read. So ... success! My #DoubleSpin is a Spanish novella which won the Premio Ignotus last year in the "short novel" category. My español is muy básica so I expect that one will take a little longer.

(1969) Eleventh in my favorite juvenile mystery series. In this one Jupe, Pete, and Bob buy an old trunk at an auction. The trunk turns out to have belonged to a traveling magician: among its contents are the magician's trademark trick "the talking skull", and a letter with clues pointing to a hidden treasure. It's not one of the series' best -- too many points that stretch believability for that -- but it's fast and fun as always.
