👎 Skip It
Gillian and her crew go hunting for a hidden Cold War bunker, and there's a real sense of mystery and adventure in the setup. But by the back half, some readers feel an adult-adjacent character steals Gillian's own moment to shine, which softens the payoff. A fun premise that doesn't quite stick the landing.
