","text":"I have now read the 8 volumes currently in print in this series. My youngest daughter has read them to me as well. She was so excited when this released and wanted us to read it together. She started it and then needed to pause to read a book for school, she was terribly excited when we got back to it and read double for a few days in a row to get through it. A few years ago, I read the fifth book in this series, The Case of the Christmas Tree Capers, a Christmas story. And I was hooked. My daughter is insisted that she reread them all to me as part of her reading challenge time, and we were both excited to finally have this one in print. I have enjoyed each of the volume, even more so now with my daughter reading them to me. These are great fun, and excellent reads for younger readers or really for readers of any age. I previously stated that the series reminds me of Tales of a Magic Monastery by Theophane the Monk. These books have great lessons. Lessons that kids will pick up on and learn from, but also lessons that we as adults can appreciate and be challenged by. It is another great story in a very entertaining and amusing series. One of the best.\r\n\r\nAs always the sisters in this story are fun, and their adventures and mishaps are often funny, and in this case a little surprising. The sisters are:\r\n\r\nSister Krumbles\r\nSister Shiny\r\nSister Lovely\r\nSister Wanda\r\nSister Lacey\r\nMother Mercy\r\n\r\nThe volume contains the black and white illustrations by Sue Anderson Gioulis and they continue to add to the story. The book teaches us about human nature, about living the gospel, and about trusting God, prayer and maybe a miracle. From the chapter titles you always have a preview of what is about to happen next:\r\n\r\nThe Wild Wasp\r\nTreasure Maps and Mind Boggling Blueprints\r\nConfusing Clues\r\nCandle Smoke &amp; Bells\r\nGoing Batty\r\nStarving Seagulls\r\nThe Hidden Room\r\nA Happy Surprise\r\n\r\nThis one truly has a villain and for long time readers of the series I give you 3 guesses and the first two do not count! The sisters discover a false bottom in a Steamer trunk. Inside the compartment they find some very important papers. Including blueprints for their house. It contains several hidden spaces and even tunnels that they were unaware of. \r\n\r\nAnd soon the Nuns and the dastardly Mr. Lemon are on a treasure hunt. Following the maps and the clues. But what the treasure actually is will surprises them. And Lemon does not react well once he finally has it in his hands.
