An Excellent Mystery

This book has been one of the best mysteries I have ever read. Most mysteries written for young adults involve a retro blond girl or two brothers. (who will remain anonymous) But 'Of Heroes and Villians' was an excellent book, the plot twisted, the characters developed, and an old man came to a truth he had been searching for for years. I started it skeptically, perhaps I was judging a book by its cover. I still had that reader-intuition that it would be good. I was right. I praise this book for being the most creatively written, brilliantly woven, dare I say intellectual, mystery I have read in all of my twelve years. I will be eagerly awaiting for 'Misfits, Inc. No. 3'
