Pioneer life is sometimes hard for the family, since they must grow or catch all their own food as they get ready for the cold winter. But it is also exciting as Laura and her family celebrate Christmas with homemade toys and treats, do the spring planting, bring in the harvest, and make their first trip into town.

Lucky Kyle wins a coveted spot to be one of the first 12 kids in the library for an overnight of fun, food, and lots and lots of games. But when morning comes, the doors remain locked. Kyle and the other winners must solve every clue and every secret puzzle to find the hidden escape route.

Incredible character creation and voice acting

A truly magical recount of one of my favourite Sherlock Holmes adventures. I'd recommend this audio book to adults too - as I thoroughly enjoyed it! The narrator really brings the characters to life and makes it really exciting throughout!
