Review Quotes: "A fast-paced mystery... reminiscent of Mary Pope Osborne's "Magic Tree House" series.... Etymology is the distinctive feature here, and its importance is reflected in every part of the text. The cultural awareness implicit in the book's themes is reflected in the diversity of its characters as portrayed in both text and illustrations. The work as a whole feels very child centered, and is likely to appeal to a broad range of readers. This winning series opener is full of fun and facts." -- School Library Journal, STARRED review
