On this weeks Manuscript Monday Lia recommends The Eleventh Hour, a curious mystery by Graeme Base.

So, this is my favourite book of all time. It was given to me as a gift around age 7. It was the first book I can remember really getting caught up in. The art is truly beautiful and insanely detailed. The story is filled with riddles and clues and honest to goodness I still don't know who did it! The secret sealed answer remains closed at the back of the book. Hopefully my daughter can crack the code.
