When Enola’s brothers send her to boarding school to get discipline, she ditches school and heads off to London to find her mom and on her way she finds that people have the same problem as her.

This story makes me sit on the edge of my seat and I get curious if Enola will ever find her mom. I think this is a great story for whoever loves mysteries. I would recommend this book for 5^th grade and up.
