Winterborne Home for Vengeance and Valor by Ally Carter

Winterborne Home for Vengeance and Valor by Ally Carter 322 Pages April didn't mean to start the fire. She wasn't the one who broke the vase. April didn't ask to go live in a big, creepy mansion with a bunch of orphans who just don't understand that April isn't like them. After all, April's mother is coming back for her someday very soon. All April has to do is find the clues her mother left inside the massive mansion. But Winterborne House is hiding more than one secret, so April and her friends are going to have to work together to unravel the riddle of a missing heir, a creepy legend, and a mysterious key before the only home they've ever known is lost to them forever. I REALLY enjoyed this book even though it is a children's chapter book. This is the first of a series and I can't wait to read the next one. It is filled with suspence and adventure and a little fantasy. I think children in grades 4-6 will enjoy this book. I highly recommend, even to adults.
