I liked some of the historical details, like apartment buildings, tenements, cars and horses being in the road. There is a lot in there that could be discussed with young readers. The mystery and investigation follows the expected tropes for young readers. I liked that there were reasons for the adults to not be around. Overall it was a nice little mystery for young readers.
