In my opinion, this book is great. I love how some of the parts make my heart race with excitement. Let me tell you this: this book is the opposite of boring.

Would you ever want to work for the police at 11 years old? “Well, how the turntables have turned”- Michael Scott. Eddie Red Undercover: Mystery on Museum Mile By Marcia Wells. Eddie Red goes undercover trying to catch art thieves. This book takes place in the 21 century in NYC around the Manhattan area. Another big area in the book is at Eddie’s house and in his school. Edmund is an 11-year-old boy with a photographic memory and there is a gang of art thieves so Edmund is hired to help the police and he will get paid to still go to his school. Now Edmund is Eddie red. He goes undercover all over Museum Mile trying to find suspects. When Eddie and his best friend Jhona crack the case by themselves, now they have to get the police to believe them. The antagonists in this book are The Picasso Gang. A contrast and contradiction in the book is in Eddie’s school. His friend Johna is getting bullied in the bathroom and Eddie steps in and stands up for his friend when he usually stands down. I would recommend this book for anyone who likes mystery and crime books. This book has some action and it is slow at times but when you get to the middle that’s when it starts to get pretty good. I can get pretty cheesy so if you like a little cheesy than this is a good book for you.

Sounds good a lot! Well I love reading those kinds of books!! My friends say that I read v not intresting types of books...but I don't mind about it cause that's what I love to read all the time!!! did anyone read mandi. ..if u didn't check it out !!!

Like 68 Rooms and Chasing Vermeer, Eddie Red is the next great art sleuth. When Eddie spots a suspect running from a scene and uses his photographic memory and drawing skills to sketch the suspect, the police hire him to consult on an art theft case.

Eddie Red: Undercover starts out classically, but to me it seemed slightly bland. You must read until the very last page or you will find this book miserably tedious, but the art was great. I recommend to those who are just beginning the adventure of mystery books, otherwise, you may want to choose another book, as this one was a bit basic, although the ending was satisfying.

This book is about Edmund, or Eddie Red according to the secret agency, who helps track down the Picasso Group, who have been suspected to have stolen a painting. Eddie is chosen as a secret weapon, as he uses his skill to draw what sees, e.i. use his photographic memory , to track the thieves on museum mile in NY.

This book is really, really good!! I found really enjoyable and think its awesome!! Eddie Red is a detective who has a talent of photographic memory, and can easily draw criminals or anything he sees. There has been a crime in the museum, it is for Eddie Red to find the criminals.

This book is great for fans of mystery and magic. Eddie works for a spy agency and now he has to help them track down the greatly feared Picasso Gang. Using his photographic memory and amazing sketching abilities he must track them down and save the museum mile!

This was a good book. Eddie is recruited by the police for his photographic memory to stop a heist. This book is good but sometimes there was not a lot of action.

This is a very entertaining book about a kid detective. The setting is a bit cliche, but the characters are different and unique. This is definitely a book worth reading.
