Publisher Description

"My all-time favorite. Astonishing." (Stephen King)

Down the Rabbit Hole is the first book in the Echo Falls mystery series by bestselling crime novelist Peter Abrahams. Perfect for middle school readers looking for a good mystery.

Welcome to Echo Falls, home of a thousand secrets. In Down the Rabbit Hole, eighth grader Ingrid Levin-Hill is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or at least her shoes are. And getting them back will mean getting tangled up in a murder investigation as complicated as the mysteries solved by her idol, Sherlock Holmes.

With soccer practice, schoolwork, and the lead role in her town's production of Alice in Wonderland, Ingrid is swamped. But as things in Echo Falls keep getting curiouser and curiouser, Ingrid realizes she must solve the murder on her own—before it's too late.

"Deft use of literary allusions and ironic humor add further touches of class to a topnotch mystery," said School Library Journal. "Intriguing twists." Publishers Weekly agreed: "The fresh dialogue and believable small-town setting will tempt fans to visit Echo Falls again."

The next book in this Edgar Award-nominated series in Behind the Curtain, followed by Into the Dark.

"I was surprised of how good this book was. I was expecting less developed characters, too much drama, and not enough excitement. Thankfully though, this book had none of that. I loved the way the reader(me) was almost always a step ahead of Ingrid. Funny, plenty of action and overall just a good book."

Quotes

  • “I’ve read all of Peter Abraham’s novels and think that Down the Rabbit Hole is my all-time favorite…One walloping good suspense yarn.”

    — Stephen King
  • “Listeners will stick with Ingrid to find out—and may well gather some of their own theories—in this satisfyingly suspenseful outing. The fresh dialogue and believable small-town setting will tempt fans to visit Echo Falls again for any sequels.”

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “Abrahams crosses into youth territory in this rich, smoothly written mystery with a protagonist whose character is as substantial as her name and whose home and school experiences have the feel of real, sometimes messy middle-class life.”

    — Booklist (starred review)
  • “Ingrid’s plucky, if not foolhardy, behavior will have readers both rooting and worrying for her simultaneously as she continues, like Alice, to fall deeper and deeper into the mystery’s unfolding. Harrowingly absorbing.”

    — Kirkus Reviews

Awards

  • Winner of the 2005 Agatha Award for Best Children's/Young Adult Novel
  • A 2006 Edgar Allan Poe Award Nominee for Best Young Adult Novel

    " I liked reading this mystery, but during the whole book something nagged at me and wouldn't let me enjoy it to its fullest--Ingrid (13 year-old main character) never confided in anyone, lied to everyone, and hardly ever had to accept any consequences for her decisions, even after explaining the whole case and her actions to the police officer. Hmmmmm . . . that's a little hard for me to swallow. "
