book review of Whitaker Ringwald's the Secret Box

This book is the first in a series.  It is set primarily for middle-school students.  For anyone that just likes to pick up a fast to read book it is highly recommended.  It is funny with interesting characters that are at the perfect ages to keep everything uncomplicated amongst the relationships.  The children do seem to be in a different world than the adults and that is obviously because the adults choose it to be that way.  The leading protagininsts are a pair of male and female cousins who could not be more opposite.  They adore each other and start to come into their own during the course of the book.  This book deals with mystery and mythology and whether it really is better to not answer a child’s questions in the long run.  It is fast paced and fun along with quite a bit of mystery and comedy to keep the reader going all the way into the end which leaves room for more story.
