(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Natalie Andrewson. In this pastiche of the classic country-house mystery, aspiring young detective Tabitha Crum, along with her pet-mouse sidekick and five other children, is invited to a mysterious countess's ghost-ridden Lake District manor. The dark humor, arch tone, and Dahl-like secondary characters wear thin in an overstuffed plot; the prose is lively, however, and Tabitha is a sympathetic heroine.
