4 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
Crack the codes. Find the treasure. Escape the house. From the acclaimed author of Scritch Scratch and What Lives in the Woods comes a action-packed adventure novel about three friends who team up to find a hidden treasure in an abandoned 1950's funhouse. Twelve-year-old Sarah Greene wants nothing more from her seventh-grade year than to beat the hardest escape room left in her town with her best friends, West, and Hannah. But when a foreclosure notice shows up on Sarah's front door, everything changes. Since her father became ill two years ago, things have been bad, but not lose your house bad...until now. Sarah feels helpless until the day Hannah mentions a treasure rumored to be hidden in the walls of an abandoned funhouse. According to legend, Hans, Stefan, and Karl Stein were orphaned at eight years old and lived with different families until they were able to reunite as adults. Their dream was to build the most epic funhouse in existence. They wanted their experience to be more than mirror mazes and optical illusions, so they not only created elaborate riddles and secret passages, but they also claimed to have hidden a treasure inside the funhouse. Once in, Sarah, West, and Hannah realize the house is unlike any escape room they've attempted. There are challenges, yes, but they feel personal. Like the triplets knew who would get in. It seems impossible, but so does everything about the house. As soon as they're in she immediately worries that attempting the funhouse is a bad idea but Sarah has no choice but to continue, since her future is at stake.

What fun! Honestly, this book has just enough of everything: just enough impetus to justify Sarah‘s actions, just enough backstory on each kiddo to illustrate growth, and just enough unbelievable-ness to make it super fun! It‘s a perfectly balanced adventure wrapped in a mystery encased in heart. The Deltas are going places! 🧩

This middle grade booked peaked my interest. It was an entertaining story about three friends in the 7th grade who love escape rooms and take on an abandoned funhouse to find the rumored treasure and to help out of their families. The puzzles made sense and for some you could kind of play along. In addition the kids all learned things about each other and themselves. It is a great choice for kids who like puzzles and adventure. 4/5 stars!

Restocking day at my three little free libraries and found this in one of them.

I squealed in delight as this book is on my TBR list and I was planning on reading in May.

I enjoyed this middle grade book about 3 best friends (Sarah, West and Hannah) who break into an abandoned funhouse in search of a hidden treasure. Each room is filled with clues, puzzles and secret doors that must be solved to advance deeper into the house.

I think my 8 year old nephew would like it. He‘s a reader who is reading the Percy Jackson books right now and this would be a fun book for his next read.
