This book is a very well written mystery with a lot of excellent messages about civil rights, disabilities and prejudices.  I really enjoy stories written with characters who aren't the stereotypical heroes, villians and damsels in distress that so many books are filled with.  The author did a great job developing the stories of the characters and addressing the lives and feelings of those with illnesses and disabilities.  The plot moves along quickly and I enjoyed reading along as the story progressed.  The author did an excellent job of setting the scenes as well as exploring the moods and needs of the characters.  While Cinammon is solving the mystery, she is also dealing with a mystery in her own life which adds to the depth of her character and helped me feel engaged with her as a character.  This would be a great book to suggest for tweens and teenagers and I hope this author continues with the stories of the other characters introduced in this story.
