Reviewer: Brooke K. '12

The Secret of Platform 13 is a very good book. It has many exciting twists and unexpected problems. I give this book a 9.5 because I liked all of it, except for some small details. I recommend this book to anyone who likes fairy-tales, mysteries, and detective books.

There is an island that had been lost for a long time. The Queen at the island had a baby. The gump, which is open for only 9 days and opens only every 9 years, is open, and three nurses take the prince through the gump. They are waiting in line to get fish and chips when Mrs. Trottle, a mean lady who wants a baby of her own, kidnaps the prince and names him Raymond Trottle. When the nurses looked for him he was no where to be seen. Years passed and the nurses still could not find him. A hag named Odge Gribble helped in the search and they found out that Mrs. Trottle kidnapped the prince. They find out that the prince is very mean and fat, and he isn't very cooperative. They take the prince away, tell him that he is a prince and that they are going to take him away from this world to where he belongs. The next day, "Raymond" (the prince) disappeared and he was no where to be found. Read the book to find out what happens next!
