Middle school readers will appreciate another moving fantasy/adventure by Snyder.

Harleigh Weatherby IV is a short pre-teen who has earned the attention of school bullies for years: now he's being home schooled at the Weatherby mansion - but life gets no better until he meets one Allegra, who literally flies into his life. From that point on high adventure evolves as a plot to steal the Weatherby treasure unfolds and Harleigh and his new friend become involved in trying to thwart it. Middle school readers will appreciate another moving fantasy/adventure by Snyder.


Not what I expected...

This is a book most suited for grades 3-5. It has a very basic plot, and a few interesting characters. The cover promises much more of a fantasy type story-a flying girl! However, it does not really deliver, and is best described as an easy mystery.

Harleigh J. Weatherby IV leads a lonely existence in the vast Weatherby mansion under the watchful eye of his great aunt Adelaide -- until a mysterious girl named Allegra literally flies over the walls of Weatherby House and into his life.

Allegra's intense curiosity about Weatherby House forces Harleigh to think about things he's always ignored, including the long-lost treasure of the first Harleigh -- which someone is trying to steal.
