1. Yes 2. Maisie and Alice and the Professor 3. well it had bits of factual as it was set in the Victorian times. 4. Because you don't get many detective books any more. Yes I would because you can join in to.

This book I found was like a mystery book but it was still really good. My favourite bit is when Maisy meets her dad. It's is a nice book.

Shockley, very complicated words. So sometimes does not make sense to you if you do not know the word. Sense in it is not very good on speech but gnarly good except speech.
