In a way, it reminded me of old-school Disney movies as the audience is clearly middle grade, but the hints of adult awareness and humor are there. I found The Mystery of Black Hollow Lane to be extremely well written, engaging, and worth the time as an adult reader. Will Emmy discover the truth behind her father's disappearance, or will she find herself at the heart of a larger plot? Emmy is not really happy with this turn of events, but a mysterious letter referencing her father compels her to explore Wellsworth.and see if maybe the trail to her father isn't as cold as it appears.Įmmy and her new friends soon discover that Wellsworth is hiding secrets, and those secrets have secrets. With her mother's career rocketing into the the spotlight, Emmy is shipped away to Wellsworth, a prestigious private boarding school in England. The Mystery of Black Hollow Lane follows the adventures of Emmy, a girl who's father disappeared when she was 3 years old, and who's mother is a child psychology literary star with, ironically, no time at all to raise her daughter by the standards she dictates. This reads like something I would have devoured as a kid: a great title, a boarding school, some creepy secret societies, found families, and lots of interesting school/research side quests.
