The story was engaging for my 6 year old but there was a part at the end that I thought was inappropriate. The mom told the daughter to keep a secret from her father.

"No, I don't think your father should know. And don't you ever tell him!" her mother said. "Promise me you won't." She only wished she could tell her father! She had never kept secrets from him before. It made her feel sad.

I think this book is sending the wrong message to kids. We won't be reading any more of this series.

My seven and nine year old daughters really enjoyed this book. They are very different kids, yet both really liked it!
