Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Perfect for fans of "Jackaby" who are desperately awaiting the release of its sequel, "Beastly Bones, "this novella-length story follows the rollicking events of Abigail Rook's birthday celebration. Abigail hopes that her birthday will slip by unnoticed and uncelebrated, but her employer, detective of the supernatural R. F. Jackaby, has other plans. Using magical party crackers that teleport the pair to unknown destinations in time and space and a cryptic map that may lead to a forgotten treasure, Jackaby intends to give Abigail what he considers to be the best gift of all--adventure. Abigail and Jackaby must tame an enormous (and carnivorous) rabbit, defend a castle, and master a dirigible if they want to find the treasure and get back to New Fiddleham alive.

    “It’s not about the treasure— it’s about the hunt.


    Ok, though unnecessary, this was very fun! I love Abigail & Jackaby's friendship, and I really enjoyed seeing them get into trouble and be sarcastic with each other. I also found it very sweet of Jackaby to give Abigail a grand adventure for her birthday, even though things got horribly out of hand. As I said, a novella that wasn't really necessary, but a good snippet for the fans of the series who missed these characters and their banter.
