The Many Lives of John Stone by Linda Buckley-Archer

Stella Park (nicknamed Spark) gets a summer job working on John Stone's archive of historical notebooks at his remote estate in Suffolk, England. 

The job is an odd one where she is simply arranging the notebooks without any context as they are all in a coded cypher. 

The estate is even odder with inhabitants that either seem to despise her or consider her a long-lost family member. 

Will Spark figure out the mysteries surrounding her job and the people she meet that summer?



This is a very interesting book about family, love, and life.  The interspersing of the notebooks between the story of Spark and the mysteries in her life works to build interest in the characters and stories.  I would recommend this for older teens and adults.
