Oh and Sophie Turner
A tragic end to a beloved franchise
What a horrific end to a franchise that helped pave way for all the superhero movies we get now.

You could find fault in just about every scene,from the ridiculous way they rushed jean grey into becoming the phoenix to the stupid ending (the jean grey school for gifted children!!!!) If I never see another film or tv show with sophie turner in it I will be a very happy man.She cant act and has the personality of a wet sock.

Michael Fassbender was criminally wasted and given nowhere near enough presence in the film.

The only saving grace is now the x-men are back home with marvel who will reboot them and make them great again.

Like most teens in Luna Vista, Sophie Young and Grace Yang are working on the floats for the upcoming Winter Sun Festival. This is the 125th anniversary of the parade, and the town wants to make an especially good impression. Sadly, the work is interrupted one day when the festival president is found dead on one of the floats. Certain it wasn’t the accident the police think it is, Sophie and Grace begin to investigate. But when their pool of suspects could also be the next victim, can they solve the crime?

I really enjoyed the first book starring these two thirteen-year-olds, and I enjoyed this one just as much. They are realistic characters who just happen to solve crime. There is a large cast of other characters, but I was soon able to keep them all straight thanks to their distinct personalities. The clues were buried under red herrings, but as the solution came to light, it all made perfect sense. Definitely recommended for middle grade readers or anyone who loves a good mystery.

NOTE: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
