I liked the ending, too

I just finished the book, too, and I liked it. I liked how the girls got to act just like Ruby Redford and be detectives. Detective stories are my favorite type of stories.

I'm glad that Clarise and Betty made up their fight and were able to keep being friends. It seems like Betty felt bad that Clarise had to work on her own when Betty was in Russia. Also, maybe she was a bit jealous that Clarise was working with Kurt on the Ruby Redford project for the contest. Sometimes friends get jealous when one friend spends time with someone else.

I think what I liked best about the book, though, was reading it with you. It's fun to read a book with someone else, don't you think?

OK. On to our next book! [Which one should we read next?]
