Agatha is a detective and rule breaker. I think you would like this book if you enjoy mysteries. It was so good that I went on to read the follow up books.

Agatha oddlow has always loved mysteries, so when London is in a crisis, Agatha sets out to solve the mystery. The people who love Robin Steven's murder mystery books, this is for you.

Agatha Oddly (who is a fun wacky character) has been a detective since as long as she can remember. Though nothing truly exciting happens in her little town. Though one day that all changes... I would recommend this book to any reader who loves an adventure story that makes you sit at the edge of your seat, a story that makes you feel like your there in the moment and a place where nothing is too odd for the on the only... Agatha Oddly. SO IF YOU TRULY ARE WISE, READ IT!!!!!!!!!!

I loved this book. It was my first time reading an Agatha Oddly and I really enjoyed it. The fact that they live in Hyde Park has really inspired me with my lego and general creativity😁🧱🤔🖌. I would recommend it to anyone who likes mystery, friendship and adventure.

Really interesting and gripping book, jam packed with adventure and a cliff hanger in almost every chapter.

This is a brilliant book to read because my favourite character was Liam because he is always trying to look after Agatha. He is a great friend. This book is fiction because there is something called the Gatekeepers Guild which isn’t actually real. I would recommend this book to people who like mystery and detective books.

It was very mysterious and I was intrigued to read the next bit of the book. It is fun and adventurous and it is all about a girl named Agatha Oddlow and she has a friend called Liam Lau and they go on adventures to solve the mystery.
