This book is a mystery. The four children and their grandfather are taking a vacation in a historical village that is set up and run the way any village would have been in colonial times. But all is not fun and games, mysterious things keep happening and the village is started to not run as smoothly as it has been. Shops are being broken into and no one but these four children can figure out what is going on. This was actually a pretty good mystery for kids. The character development was simple but thorough enough that it was clear what was going on and most of the people's motivations. The ending was actually surprising and I liked the incorporation of history into the plot of the story. Although it was unrealistic in that the children cook for themselves, and are staying by themselves totally able to take care of themselves even though they're all between the ages of six and twelve, that's kind of expected in a book like this for kids in that age group. Overall, I did enjoy this book. Definitely worth a read.
