I read The Five Mouse Sisters to two of my children, ages 5 and 7 years old, and they were both captivated by the story.  We all appreciated that this tale of sisters with special powers was suspenseful. If I were to give this book a subtitle, I might call it "The Case of the Missing Bean Cakes." Though the illustrations were not really my style, they clearly portrayed the events of the story. Towards the end, adults reading this story might notice a resemblance to Scooby Doo, as the villain bemoans being caught by the "meddling" sisters.  Nevertheless, I found Rachel Yu's book (which I managed to download on a day when it was free) an entertaining read, as did my children.
