Kids Books - Detectives

Have you ever looked for a clue but while battling others? Amy and her brother Dan are in Sydney in the beginning of the book and instantly they are faced by an enemy and that changes the book forever. The book is called the 39 Clues : IN TOO DEEP this is pretty ironic because they realize later in the book they realize what big of a bad situation they have got themselves into. The author’s name is Jude Watson and this is so funny because her real name is Judy Blundell. This book is in a series and this specific book is number 6. I don't think it would be necessary to read the books before this because I didn't and I understood everything but I think it would be nice just because then you would have more of an idea of characterization and the build up of personality. The book is basically about Dan and Amy following their parents footsteps and joining in for the chase of the 39 clues. Why, you may ask? Well they were offered a lot of money, or a chase for clues that would give them way more. During the journey they meet some interesting families that are also in the chase. They also meet family members in desperate times of help but little do they know they might be evil. They face deadly challenges and competitors that drive them to find every single clue. During the series they are dragged to many different countries to find different clues but in this book they are in Australia which makes them try new things and their enemies have tricks coming from ancestors with a different culture.This book is very good. I really like it because it keeps the reader engaged at all times. I feel like the reader could have made the characters themselves more interesting instead of the situation because in most parts of the book the situations are so engaging and sometimes even scary which I find great but it would be nicer to have some of those genres and traits in the characters rather than everything around them. But in general I feel like this book has a good hook and climax and it really makes me feel like I am in the scene. This is really good because it makes me imagine and I can dream and dream about what can happen here and there. It is fun to read and I could never get tired of this book because it just is so exciting and different. Overall, I really like this book and I'm pretty sure anyone that likes to read books that have crazy plot twists will really enjoy this book. I feel like this book has a lot of different genres and themes.

Mm, this book is pretty okay I guess... It is different than the first trio of books . I could not really keep up with it. My friend loves it, but I am not certain. Everyone is so different, Tai Li randomly shows up, and devastatingly, CONSTANCE CONTRAIRE PRACTICALLY GAVE UP RHYMING SPONTANEOUSLY!😤😱😮😪😥😭😭😭😭 Also, the plot is hard to follow and I was sad since Violet Hopefield didn't show up in the book. Some parts are good, like when Constance yelled at Reynie and everyone. That was good. I wish I could do that to my sort of friend, who loves this book. But overall, the plot is less clever, TLS has lost a bit of his usual sparkle, and why on earth does Constance not make any epic poems? I loved those! Overall, there are clever plot turns but I couldn't keep up with it. It's like a tidal wave of new characters knocked me over. I do like how the author included each character's personal thoughts, but Tai seems like a minor character. 3 1/2 stars.🙃

This book was actually really funny when Nina ate everything.Also that inspector flytrap was a plant.He ended up solving the mysteries but one thing always happened during the mystery for example at the art museum he solved it but Nina of course.She made a hole in The Mona Spaghetti. I started laughing. It is a good book and short a short book but very funny.I deffentley recommend this book

“Goal!” Heart pounding so loud, hard and fast drowning out all other sounds that Albert can still hear it over the cheers from the fan filled crowd of unfamiliar faces- not family and friends. He turns to the cheering crowd and sees Zeenods, Jhaateez, Fetr, Manam, Liöt, Z-Tevs, and Tevs and reminds himself that he is playing soccer on another planet, an alien planet! Abducted on his way home from soccer tryouts, Albert comes face to face with members of the Zeenod Johka team. Learning that these aliens want him to be their star striker after being cut from his school’s team, Albert is elated to be able to play soccer, or something like soccer after all. But wait! He can not tell anyone, not even his family. An amazing opportunity to travel, to learn about new worlds and a solar system beyond what even his teachers have taught him AND to be able to play a star position even when his own school soccer team cuts him puts Albert’s world into a dilemma that only his neighbor’s dog, Tackle can help him maneuver. Albert Kinney is a 13-year-old who loves soccer and has spent his earlier years playing on the same soccer team with his friend and next-door neighbor Trey. At the end of the summer his only goal is to get a spot on the 7th grade soccer team along with Trey. But the two of them had differences, which made them friends and not best friends, and by tryouts those differences had multiplied. Albert wants nothing more than to play soccer and knew the importance of making it onto the 7th grade soccer team. When he does not make the team after the last day of tryouts, he does not tell his family. Instead he tells his mother, paternal grandmother and 3 gold medalist gymnast younger sister, he quit and wanted to try something new, the clarinet. Shocked and surprised, his mother and grandmother are supportive, but his relationship with his younger and more successful athletic sister becomes a thorn in his side. What Albert does not share with his family or classmates or Trey is that he has been chosen to play for an intergalactic soccer team. The Zeenods abduct Albert the same day he does not make the school’s soccer team. The Zeenods tell Albert that he will be their star striker in a johka tournament which is much like the soccer he plays on Earth. Confused and excited to be able to play soccer on a team, Albert accepts the opportunity. Little does he know that by accepting the johka star striker position he has created battlegrounds at home, at school, and in the Füigor Solar System. With danger lurking around every corner, Albert does not know who or what to trust. Help from his new teammates, the Zeenods, the neighbor’s dog, Tackle and a robot, Albert maneuvers his way traveling through space, learning about high tech soccer and ominous messages! This series is off to a great start with some questions answered and new developed cliff hangers. Star Striker: Game On! by Mary Amato is filled with advanced technology and cunning humor. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

Miranda lives with her mom and her mom's boyfriend Richard in a shabby little apartment. Life is normal... for the time being. One day on their walk home from school, Miranda's best friend Sal gets punched by a kid in their grade, Marcus. And then everything begins happening to Miranda all at once, in a whirlwind. Sal suddenly doesn't want to hang out with her anymore. Miranda's mom gets chosen to be a contestant in a game show where she could win $20,000! And Miranda also starts to receive mysterious notes. The notes say that it's up to her to help save her friends life and the note writer's own. Perplexed, Miranda tries to forget about the notes, and makes some new friends, Annemarie and Colin. Soon her life takes another turn-- she is accused of stealing, and more notes pop up, each one weirder than the others. This note writer seems to know exactly what's about to happen in her life! And that brings in the subject of time travel. **Now, at this part of the book, the author Rebecca Stead explains time travel. It's a little confusing, but hopefully you'll get the gist.** Miranda figures out secrets of the past, present, and future, and everything falls into place. Maybe her predicaments didn't turn about as bad as she thought! I really enjoyed this book, it was thorough in explanation, and it talked about the book A Wrinkle in Time as a main theme. Now this book has inspired me to read it! I really liked this amazing novel!

I wanted to read this book because I thought it would be a really fun book to read. I also thought that it looked short and quick.

Awesome mystery and suspense as usual in the Spy School series. Thumbs up to Stuart Gibbs for that. The whole plot and story line plus the character’s traits made me laugh from start to end. Ben is really smart with numbers but is totally rubbish at fighting (no offense, Ben!) and Erica is beautiful, and amazingly athletic and knows pretty much every sport, except... skiing? The CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) usually sends Ben, Erica and the gang to exciting yet life risking adventures to defeat SPYDER, an evil organization that always has a master plan to take over the world and blame it on someone else. But this time, they’re targeting a Chinese billionaire named Leo Shang. The objective is to get close to Jessica Shang, Leo’s daughter. Ben is friendly so if he becomes friends with Jessica, he may become closer to finding out Leo’s plan to... cause destruction. But everything goes wrong when Mike’s best friend who is CONVINCED that Ben is a normal human but catches him acting very weirdly... almost like an agent? I’m not gonna say any more though, read Spy Ski School if you want to find out more!
