I hope i didn't scare you with my title (heh, heh). The book i am going to reccomend is Murder at Midnight by Avi (WHOO HOO!). It is about a kid named Febrezio (I think.) who is kind of like a servant boy living in Italy in around the mid 1400's. His master's wife is leaving to check on her sick sister and is left alone with his grumpy master. Febrezio's master performs illusions at this resteraunt and Febrezio noticed a sinister man that is hooded. Febrezio tries to warn his master but must carry on his job. Later in the story, somebody is writing posters that are trying to overthrow the king and there are mysterious papers with ever letter and every word on each paper are the same! (Reminder: The printer was not heard about yet in Italy.) The magistrate is blaming Febrizio's master because he is well known for his magic tricks, and he goes into prison and is getting ready for a court trial. Now, Febrizio must find out who is really printing the mysterious papers and must use cleverness, friends, and courage to find out who the REAL culprit is. Hope you enjoy Murder at Midnight!
If you like other Avi books, this is the book for you. So far I think this is the latest book Avi published, so you better get yourselves to George Mason library or any other public library to check out this fun and suspenseful/kind of scary book! ENJOY!
