The Neighbors' Secret is a fast-moving middle-grade book about Maddie, who has a much too active imagination! She still gets laughed at over the Yeti incident, but this time, she is sure about what she saw, and it makes a much larger mystery and problem. Maddie's best friend doesn't believe her and is far more concerned with makeup and boys nowadays.
Diana Sussman's portrayal of preteen conduct and dialogue is spot on. She perfectly describes the empty feeling of being left out, even by one's best friend. The book flows nicely and is a quick read.
Thank you to NetGalley and Everimagine Books(Harbor Lane Books, LLC). I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book provided by Everimagine Books via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
