"This is the story of 17-year-old Will Lassiter who lives in Red Fork. Will's new neighbor, Dr. Octavio Perez, disappears, and Will becomes embroiled in the mystery. Will comes across a secret that has been under wraps for many decades. Will's adventures kept me turning the pages. The other fascinating angle of this book is that it has 1,046 must-know SAT vocabulary words included in the text. I enjoyed this story and found Will to be a sympathetic character. He approaches the mystery and its resolution with great skill and initiative. The inclusion of SAT vocabulary words (and definitions at the end of the book), was a great, easy-learning, concept."
"Well I read this book to help me learn more vocabulary, but to be honest the only thing I learn from this book is finding the meaning of words from context.
Anyways the story was interesting in after moving into Red Fork, Will discovers that the neighbor next door was disappeared. He decides to find the the disappearance, Will and his friend laura decides to investigate by going into the mansion next door. What's interesting is that there is a secret that involves not a ring, but a group of people. When I picked up this book, I thought the ring was important, but it wasn't a ring that you would wear, but a ring of an underground organization that was still alive after a century.
I didn't really like the plot because it was a typical mystery book that seems to be similar to every other mystery book I had read."
