My brief summary of the book
Addie B. can’t wait to see her boy cousins (Jack, Bodie, and Beanie) for Christmas! But today it’s shopping day with her mom. As they walk down a street in Chinatown, Addie B. sees a mysterious shop called “The Ruby Lantern.” She had the urge to enter the shop. A weird old Chinese man told Addie that she must keep the ruby safe from harm and return it to its owner. Addie can’t wait for her cousins to finally land in London and solve this mystery all together. But the shop disappeared when they all went to Chinatown! They must find a way to go to the world of Ambra before it’s too late.
My thoughts
Be ready to embark on another great Addie B. and her cousins’ adventure.
First, I love the bamboo forest on the cover because it looks peaceful and quiet. Like the other books of the series, the story is full of surprises and filled with twists and turns you don’t expect. I missed some characters from the other books and the tranquil Garden of Choices. I can’t wait for the final book 5 to be published.
