Why read it?

1 author picked The Silver Serpent as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is very arty by which I mean it introduces the young reader to the world of art and art galleries. There is also a strong dose of spy-type intrigues.

A very snooty older man gets satirised for his arrogance, which I think is a nice twist for the reader and a good change from the bossy types who often appear. The father-daughter relationship is well done.

From Jon's list on middle grade detective fiction.
