My daughter wants to read this book.
I found this book to full of magic, family and animals. I did love there is a mystery to solve and that history is involved with some of the characters.
The kids live in Vegas in a casino that is full of Magic. I did love that there was team work involved and being Honest. It was nice to see some of the Russian culture and language with the kids.
This is my first time reading this author and I would recommend this book for kids to read.
