a good one, Avril 6 2004
A very good book. Better than Nancy Drew's to my opinion my hypothosis to what was going on changed continuesly and finally at the end I settled on one. It also teaches alot about London and such. The book isn't that far out of real life so it could really happen which to me makes it all the better. A good book.

This book is great! It may be short in length, but it is a great story. All her life, Karen has known nothing but boarding school after boarding school. Her father, her only parent, is a mob boss, and Karen doesn't really know it. She has always kind of suspected it, but never confirmed it. She doesn't really want to know the truth. She is very out of touch with her father, partly because everything is handled by her father's secretary, Miss Simon. One day, the headmistriss at Karen's boarding school recieves a call to get Karen and tell her to pack her bags because her father is taking her to London. This call is supposedly from Miss Simon, snd there is no question in that matter at that point in the book. When she finally gets there, the people that meet her are again, "supposedly" her deceased mother's cousins. After a few odd happenings, Karen starts to think that something isn't right, so she calls upon an old friend who happens to be going to school in London. He comes to the rescue, and whisks her off to a safe place, however, all is not right yet. Her mother's supposed cousins chase them all over, and finally.... Well I guess you'll have to read the book to find out, won't you? This is such a good book. If you like excitment, action, and drama, this is the book for you. Read it already!

"Dark as a pocket", Mai 15 2000
Though she may have been providing a detail for the room Mrs. Hoaresham was held helpless in, main character Karen Beatty, in actuality, summarized her entire life by describing the room as "dark as a pocket." Karen knows nothing more about her life than a complete stranger on the street. Her mother died when she was young, her father has managed to stay a distant figure... Karen's memories of childhood consist of one boarding school after another. Suddenly, Karen is instructed to leave school, which initiates a long journey, toward her father and more importantly, to herself. With the help of a childhood friend (Jay) and Mrs. Hoaresham, an animated and generous new friend, Karen is able to escape from her fictional relatives and find her father, along with a strength she never knew she had.
