               The main characters are Lucy, Lockwood, and George. Lucy meets up with the two boys when she leaves her home after a horrible incident.

               I would recommend this book because it has very good description of the characters and the setting. The author leaves you hanging so that you want to read more. It includes adventures that the three young agents go through together and the cases they solve. It also has dangers that await to be discovered by the young agents that are unimaginable even in your wildest dreams.   

               I would recommend this book to readers who like to read fantasy, adventure,and mystery books. If you like this book you might be interested in reading the next book once its published.
