Kids Books - Detectives

The Baby-Sitters Club books are really good! They’re about four friends, Kristy Thomas, Mary-Anne Spier, Claudia Kishi, and Stacey. It takes place in Stoneybrook, CT, and they are just starting a new club to babysit kids near their neighborhoods. But challenges and fear stand in their way... and the four friends have to stay together to overcome them. I would recommend you guys read this book/series because they’re exciting and fun to read! ;)

"Welcome to the Warren Hotel.." Prepare to enter the secluded world of Warren the 13th, an odd-looking errand boy at the Warren Hotel. Warren can remember much better days at the Warren Hotel - generations and generations of Warrens took care of the hotel, with guests coming all over the world to stay at the famous hotel. But when Warren's father, Warren the 12th, unfortunately passed away, Warren's uncle Rupert inherited the hotel. Needless to say, things went downhill fast after that, and Warren's days became a living nightmare - especially because of Uncle Rupert's wife, Aunt Annaconda. Even though Aunt Annaconda acts lovey-dovey and perfectly sweet in front of Uncle Rupert, Warren knows the real reason she's here - she wants to find an old myth, the All-Seeing Eye, which is rumoured to be hidden somewhere in the hotel. Warren the 13th has been living a horrible life for twelve years.. but that possibly might change when the first guest in years stays at the hotel! It's a mysterious man covered in gauze, coats, and hats. But when Warren gets sent to the hotel hedge mazes as a punishment, he discovers Warren the 2nd's diary.. which is first of the many clues Warren discovers as he realizes that the All-Seeing Eye has the immense power to destroy the hotel.. or maybe even save it? But what Warren doesn't know that Aunt Annaconda is a very wicked witch, and is set on destroying the hotel and him along with it. Will Warren find the most unlikely allies and have a great adventure to save the hotel, or will he go down as only a pawn in Aunt Annaconda's master plan? I can't deny it - when I first picked up this book, I did not know what to expect. But when I finally decided to open it, I was transported into a world.. like ours, but in another dimension, almost. This book is almost like a manuscript straight out of someone's imagination, with all those fantastical creatures roaming around and secrets around every page! Warren the 13th and the All-Seeing Eye is an incredibly, incredibly creative book - it keeps you on your toes on every page because of the mystery surrounding everything! This book is delightful and charming, and when you think of those words, I think you think of a book that's sort of lightweight, but this book has deeper elements. It has horror, a bit of mystery, betrayal, and things that seem to "highlight" the book and give it depth. Another thing that surprised me was that I thought it was going to be strictly fantasy based on the cover, but it surprised me! It was a blend with nearly all of the genres - even romance (very, very, very corny romance) between Annaconda and Rupert! Even though this is aimed at children, I think all readers can enjoy this amazing read.. And I almost forgot to mention that there is a character named Sketchy, and he is such a sweetheart!

I'm so glad i read your review because now i entered the giveaway and I'm looking forward to possibly reading this book!!!

This book was not all that great, but it was okay. Once again, the NERDS have to face off their former teammate, Heathcliff Hodges. But it seems that the villain has an ally! Albert and "Mama" are assisting him, as well as his goon, and this might be too much for the NERDS to handle. Duncan Dewey, a member of NERDS (and NOT a traitor) might be the only hope left.

This book is about Jennifer who is nick-named Cam because of her photographic memory and her friend Eric. One day they were hanging outside and they saw people rushing into a jewelry store. Not long after, two people one holding a baby and one holding a rattle came out of the store. Eric thought something was up with them because he had a sister and they packed a whole diaper bag but the people coming out of the store only had a rattle. They eventually get caught and turns out the diamonds are in the rattle. I give this book a five star rating because it was an amazing book and it didn't skip around. I could relate to this book because it is about young kids that like to figure out mysteries.

This book was incredibly entertaining to read and intense. It is about the 3 Greystone kids: Chess, Emma, and Finn. One day they came home from school and discovered there were three other kids with the same first, middle, last names and birthdays. Before they could ask their mom, Kate Greystone, about it she left on a spontaneous "business trip". They are left with Ms. Morales and her daughter, Natalie. They later find out that their mom will not be coming back and could be in danger. They go through her phone and computer that she oddly left at home and discover a coded letter. As they go through the code to find out what it is they are planning to bring their om back home. This leads to one crazy, action-packed adventure. All you have to do now is read the book to find out what happens in their adventure and if they get their mom back. I would give this book a five-star rating because I could really make a movie in my head. I would recommend this book to 5th through 6th graders.

I ended my 2017 reading year with this book. And I could not have lucked out with a better one. Brodie is a dog - a very good dog - who has died. Rather than let go and move on to Forever, Brodie chooses to return to our world to save Aidan, his boy, from danger. What entails is an adventure so unique that I couldn’t put this book down. Good Dog is BEAUTIFUL. An omniscient narrator tells the story, occasionally breaking from his POV to address the reader, which connected me to Brodie and Aidan more and more. The flashbacks Brodie experienced as memories of his past with Aidan came flooding back were vivid, sometimes excruciating, and always intentional in ways that kept me guessing. Gemeinhart’s use of imagery only added to that vividness. But the best part? Brodie’s VOICE. So singular, original, and pure, highlighting the bond between this dog and his boy. I fell in love with Brodie from the jump, laughing and crying as he worked to complete his quest. He is a character I will remember forever. This book is, in my opinion, one for the middle-grade ages, teaching kids that heroism is a choice that can come in any form.

This hilarious book is about a cat and a dog. But not just any normal house pets, Queenie (the cat) and Arthur (the dog) will do everything they can to keep there owner's hotel in business- despite their disliking of each other. But when there is a murder in the out in the surrounding mountains, and hint of a hidden treasure, Queenie and Arthur have to team up like never before in order to stop the treasure seekers that will do anything- even murder- to get their hands on gold. This book had me laughing every few minutes, and is a great read if you feel the need to laugh.

This book is about how the stone of fire was stolen. I enjoyed this book because it had comedy. If you like comedy and adventure, you will like The Stone of Fire-Jacob
