I really enjoyed this book. I liked the way the characters were formed and how they communicated to each other letting you know their feelings and support for each other. The hunting for the note books and the story of Jacob and Kitty and the connection it made to the main story of Saskia and Matthew. I loved the ending it was as much a surprise to me as it was for Saskia, what a great way to finish the story. Although I believe there could be another book with the adventures of Saskia and Matthew and the rest of the family moving on from where this book leaves off.

I left this book beside the John Ruskin Memorial, close to the viewing point looking out at Derwent Water.
