In book four of the series readers find Stanley in yet another puzzling dilemma. Sinister and menacing black crows descend on Candlestick Hall foreshadowing the arrival of the Darkling family, who claim that the hall legally belongs to them. Stanley and friend Daisy use secret passages to spy on the Darklings, but it is their quick wit and resourcefulness that bring about a favorable ending. Reader’s unfamiliar with Stanley and the residents of Crampton Rock may not enjoy the book as thoroughly as those who are familiar with the series.
3 of 5 stars - Recommended.
