Retrieve Emily Kessler The Mystery Of The Midnight Trespasser Imagined By Hosanna Konsavage File

was super confused when I started this book, As an avid Nancy Drew fan, I know exactly where that it from, so it was a bit weird to read that in the opening to another book.
After that, it got much better,
I was able to keep all the kid's straight, which really is a credit to the author, She handled all the characters really well,
Also, the mystery was nice, though maybe a little violent for younger kids, the kids get threatened, one gets punched, and three of them get locked in a barn.
I liked the Christian element, even though sometimes it felt a bit forced,
My biggest complaint was the kid's lack of involving their parents, For them to say they had good parents, then the parents seem to not care at all what their kids do, and the kids don't care to inform them about all the stuff that's been happening seems wrong.
I was really sad because this book had the perfect set up to break that trend, and it didn't,
Overall, a cute book, I look forward to reading more by this author later, Im in awe of young authors people my age and younger whove slaved over stories, written novels, and published books, Ive been blessed by Hosanna Emilys blog ever since I started reading it, so when I discovered she was one of those amazing people called authors, I read her book at the first opportunity.


The Mystery of the Midnight Trespasser has lots going for it, Its easy to read, but doesnt come across as amateur, It is fast paced, and doesnt drag, The storyline sucked me in I had no trouble finishing the book, In fact, I read it in one sitting, because I had to find out what happened next! It would be even more riveting for a younger audience.


But a few things didnt settle well with me.
The first is the lack of parental involvement, The kids involved dont tell their parents what theyre finding until later in the story, They were in danger they shouldve told their parents, I realize no ones perfect, and its just a story I dont have a problem with poor decisions in books if theyre reinforced as bad choices by negative outcomes.
But I didnt notice any longlasting negative outcomes as a result of not informing parents, It also surprised me, because early on in the story, Emily is portrayed as having a fairly close relationship with her parents,

Second, when the mystery is uncovered, its hard to understand how it couldve happened, The parents knew about Gus and Veronica the whole time theyd given Gus permission to stay on their land they wouldve known why he was there.
Then, I presume, they wouldve told their children why Gus was coming to stay, or at least, they wouldnt have let their kids sleep out at night or go exploring when they were aware of an unsavoury character on the loose.
Either way would take the mystery and adventure out of the story,

Third, some things seemed unbelievable, If the families had lived in that area for a while, surely the kids wouldve been exploring before, and come across the hidden buildings.
And the parents attitude after the final showdown seemed unrealistic I know my mum would not have been so casual about the fact that some of her children couldve lost their lives.
Also, in the very end, Emily is shown to be looking forward to the next adventure, Shed just been threatened several times, her own, and her siblings and friends lives were in danger, her property had been threatened and attempted to be destroyed, and shed witnessed and taken part in the final scene I think she may have rathered some peace and safety for a while.


I liked the character development of Veronica though, The author portrayed her well as someone who deserved sympathy and understanding and the love and hope of God, It made me wonder what her story was, and how she got to that desperate place,

I know Ive been extremely critical, and if Ive overlooked anything, or missed something in my reading and thoughts on the book, please let me know.
I realize Ive analysed it from a truetolife point of view too, when it may

not have been the authors intention to write from that perspective.
Overall though, I can see a lot of thought and effort, went into The Mystery of the Midnight Trespasser, Im glad I read it, and I look forward to reading the authors next book,

Hosanna, if youre reading this, please know that Im not knocking your work in any way, and I dont think any less of you or your writing skills after the points I mentioned above.
Please feel free to point out anything I misunderstood in my opinions too, I sincerely admire your work, and wish you all the best with your future books as I said, Im looking forward to reading them! :
This rating ispersonal preference on my part, but I have a really hard time with stories where the kids leave the adults out of everything, especially after it's been established that there is actual danger involved.
I was a bit uncomfortable in the beginning when they decided they would try to solve things on their own without even mentioning it to their parents, but by the end of the book, it was way too much for me.
Especially when it's been established that there is a criminal running loose who not only has a gun but is willing to use physical violence against children.
At this point, there has to be at least an effort to get the adults involved, rather than taking the youngest girls back to the house, declining to wake the sleeping parents, and going to find the bad guys alone.
Also, at the end, it appeared that some of the adults actually knew something was going on, but didn't warn the kids to stay away! I appreciated the message of finding courage from God in dangerous situations, but there definitely needed to be some better choices or at least less reason to suspect real trouble going into these situations.


Also, I was never sure how old the various kids were supposed to be, so it was hard to tell if they were just far too young for the situations they were mixed up in or definitely old enough to know better.
:S

The style felt very readable and engaging for a young reader, but between the danger that seemed too pronounced for a young audience and the repeated bad decisions about trying to do everything on their own along with the fact that they're only mildly corrected at the end, I would be hesitant to recommend it for a child.
That said, I would still be interested in reading more books by the author in the future,
