I can't help but recall my passion for Nancy Drew adventures in my tween days of long ago. Sie seems to be of the same mold as Nancy. Let's find Aunt G!

I could be considered a young adult, right? LOL! So many elements in this book intrigue me. The interesting names of the characters, (Silent, Generous), magic of course is interesting, who abducted the aunt. The diversity of the characters can help educate the reader that we may have different cultures and different colored skin, but we are all human. The humor woven into the story is always a desirable trait for an author. I'm looking forward to reading this book; thanks for the review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting young adult mystery novel about a young woman who usually lives with her aunt but is suddenly forced to live with her cousins and is told that her aunt has died. All of a sudden, Silent Lee is given a letter from her supposedly-dead aunt stating that her aunt is being held captive. Silent Lee now must find her aunt and "save" her. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Magical adventures have always been a significant attraction for the young-adult reader. This book sounds like an excellent addition to the annals of this genre.

This young adult book sounds interesting to those readers who are in middle school right now and to those readers who enjoy fantasy and magic. However, I don't think it is for me, congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

The author must have read all of Edgar Eager's books growing up because this one is right in line with his! I must say, Silent's family has a talent for... interesting names. I've already continued reading, and the book only gets better from when the sample ends! I'm looking forward to finding out how Silent and Raahi go about finding Aunt Gen. Excellent review, thanks!

Kudos to whoever designed that book cover because it looks so good. Also, that book title is really catchy and interesting. The plot sparks curiousity and intrigue; somehow it's exciting that it's a quick read, too.

Silent Lee sounds like a mysterious story as it holds the intrigue element of the disappearance of a person who is pronounced dead.

An interesting read for young readers to be sure. I am curious how she navigates the regular world and the mishaps she's able to overcome.

'Official Review: Silent Lee and the Adventure of the Side Door Key' by Alex Hiam forms a good background to the magical story of the adventure of a young girl for readers! It explains every little detail related to the story for the benefit of readers! The bright points of the story have been mentioned in the review with a full emphasis! The point that magic is a key component of the story is worth mentioning in the review! Nice to learn that the story creates some fun and educational moments for all readers!

I love how its expressed in the review that the autor includes some personal touches because that makes me want to read the book even more. I love that it is expressed that the book can be suitable for high school readers because with that info I can have an idea of how the book is going to be in general. Thank you so much for making me look forward to reading this book that I hope I end up loving.
