Review "The fascinating cipher that ties it all together is the highlight of this wholesome, gentle story.... An inspirational throwback for families seeking tales with a classic feel."--Kirkus Reviews"Guterson (the Winterhouse trilogy) sensitively explores Zacks journey toward self-forgiveness in this contemplative adventure featuring a captivating northwestern U.S. setting, a splash of the paranormal, and a tidy ending."--Publishers Weekly"Guterson treads carefully, demonstrating how grief can be maneuvered but not entirely left behind--this is a bruised family, even as they heal through shared experiences, conversations, and renewed trust that their loved ones will support their unique ways of mourning. The mystery of a tower, secret messages, ghostly communications, and a cranky old man are all appealing elements that move the story forward . . . readers will be glad to see the Einsteins get some closure, joy, and good karma."--BCCBPraise for The Einsteins of Vista Point: "Guterson does a splendid job of conjuring up the ideal setting for a classic summer story.... There are compassionate explorations of grief and loss, but obvious familial affection and gracious communal support keep the tone warm and hopeful. A properly old-fashioned adventure that begs to be read by flashlight under bedcovers."--BooklistPraise for The Secrets of Winterhouse: "Gutersons rich mystery and lively characters will keep readers turning the page to solve the puzzles within and leave them eagerly anticipating the next book in this intriguing and magical series."--BooklistPraise for Winterhouse: "Guterson provides readers a treat: mean caregivers à la the Dursleys; a vast, luxurious hotel where oddities abound; a new word-puzzle-loving friend; a shrouded history for Winterhouse; and sinister circumstances.... Clever and captivating."--Kirkus Reviews"A charming, atmospheric mystery with some fantasy elements, for fans of Kate Milfords Greenglass House and Trenton Lee Stewarts The Mysterious Benedict Society."--School Library Journal"A natural fit for readers with a penchant for puzzles and wordplay in the vein of the Mr. Lemoncellos Library series and Pseudonymous Bosch."--Booklist"An engaging blend of sleuthing, puzzle-solving, and magic."--Kirkus Reviews Long Description When Zacks younger sister dies in a tragic accident, his family moves to a small town in the Northwest to try and heal from all the pain.
