Ally Carter's exciting tale of orphans, billionaires, superheroes, swordplay, scheming, and murder finds its tween heroes facing lots of unexpected perils. The Winterborne Home for Mayhem and Mystery takes the characters and the frequently astonished reader through dramatic reversals galore. Surprising discoveries emerge about an orphan's birth family. A private island is well supplied with booby traps. It's a tangled web of plot threads with never a dull moment -- and a satisfying conclusion that leaves plenty of unresolved issues and a hope for further adventures.
