Down The Rabbit Hole (an Echo Falls Mystery) [Paperback]

My all-time favorite. Astonishing. (Stephen King)

Down the Rabbit Holeis the first book in the Echo Falls mystery series by bestselling crime novelist Peter Abrahams. Perfect for middle school readers looking for a good mystery.

Welcome to Echo Falls, home of a thousand secrets. InDown the Rabbit Hole, eighth grader Ingrid Levin-Hill is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or at least her shoes are. And getting them back will mean getting tangled up in a murder investigation as complicated as the mysteries solved by her idol, Sherlock Holmes.

With soccer practice, schoolwork, and the lead role in her town's production of Alice in Wonderland, Ingrid is swamped. But as things in Echo Falls keep getting curiouser and curiouser, Ingrid realizes she must solve the murder on her own—before it's too late.

Deft use of literary allusions and ironic humor add further touches of class to a topnotch mystery, saidSchool Library Journal. Intriguing twists. Publishers Weeklyagreed: The fresh dialogue and believable small-town setting will tempt fans to visit Echo Falls again.

The next book in this Edgar Award-nominated series inBehind the Curtain, followed byInto the Dark.
