RE: Unraveling Isobel

Hi Miss Cook. I wanted to talk to you about your book, Unraveling Isobel that just came out. I read it recently and have so much to talk about.

Firstly I wanted to tell you how wonderful your book was. I liked it a lot because it was mysterious but was still funny. It would be all serious but then becomes light. For example, when Isobel first saw the house she felt something wrong but right after she was her sassy self at her step-father. This book really kept me guessing. There are so many twists in the plot. That was the best part. I was never bored.

I have some questions for you. Why did you make Isobel’s dad crazy. Did you do it so Isobel could be crazy and to make us think the story could have been her imagination? Was the ghost really Nathaniel’s sister? I never knew for sure. Did Isobel’s mom finally accept Isobel? She should because Isobel was right all along.

Even though your book was really good I have some suggestions. Isobel should’ve met her dad at some point. You kept pointing out her dad but all she got was a letter. He could be the one adult that trusted her. You also should have given more life to Isobel. She seemed so depressed at times. It would be more enjoyable to read if she did something interesting.

Thank you for reading this. Once again you book was fabulous and I hope you make a sequel.
