Kids Books - Detectives

Page turner for boys and girls alike! Tom spends a weekend in Peru with his crazy Uncle Harvery, running away from Otto Gonzalez, the finger cutting crook. Car chase scenes and mountain top gun battles are contrasted with the search for Sir Francis Drake's gold on the coast of South America. Will Tom ever make it out of there? Will Harvey regret brining him along, or is Tom's clever thinking just the ticket to get them both home!

This new installment in the Cahill family secrets certainly lives up to its predecessors. Dan and Amy Cahill are having fun living with their cousins and pulling off secret operations, and taking turns being the leader of the group. Then one day the CIA knocks on their door-they have a new mission. The government had been working on a top-secret disease that could knock out millions. But it was stolen by one of their own, the traitor Sinead Starling. So Dan, Amy and the other Cahills set off on an adventure to retrieve the poison and try to find out what Sinead Starling is about to. But finding out the truth might be harder than they thought, and there are others out there against the Cahills. Will the Cahills be able to stop the outbreak of a disease so powerful that it could wipe out the world? And find the truth about their rogue cousin? One part I liked international places in this book-specifically Cuba, which Sinead is targeting. The government plays a big part, and the tense relationship between the US and Cuba as well. It just made everything a little bit more interesting and tricky. Like other books in the 39 Clues, Super-special Outbreak is hair-raising, with with twists around every corner. I couldn't put it down! I hope there are more coming! I recommend this book(and this series), to anybody 4th grade and up. I believe for most younger than that the book would be too violent. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Sherlock and Watson has lots of clients. Yay ( for Sherlock). He solves lots and lots of problems. But WHAT? He didn’t catch ‘the woman’?

I decided to start this series because i like mysteries. I read the first one and i was hooked so far i have everyone in my school library and hoping to read the last few. The first one is about this 3rd grader named Dink and his friends Josh and Ruth Rose who are always the main characters. He is going to see his favorite kids mystery writer named Wallis Wallace and in the letter to Dink it says that he will be there unless he is kidnapped but then Wallis dosen't show up at the book signing! the police say he just missed his flight ,but Dink knows what really happened!

While this may be a younger studen't book, it is LAUGH OUT LOUD funny! My five year old brother checked it out from the library and I read it to him so long that it counted for all of his reading. It didn't get boring! If anything, it got funnier! There is an incredibly tiny fish that steals a larger fish's hat-and is assured that the big fish doesn't even know! After all, the hat was too small for the big fish...or so the tiny fish says! This is a great book for kids entering school or in 1st grade! --BKS reviews

BEST BOOK EVER! Really scary, but great! I love Wait Till Helen Comes. It was my favorite! I recommend!

This is an amazingly written book by Robert Beatty! Although I did not like the Serafina series by him this book was truly..... there’s just no words about how beautiful this book is! The strong themes/messages about standing up for what you think is right, perseverance, hope, change, friendship and much more is truly what makes this book the best of the best. The strong tiny details everywhere in the book really make the story and scenes come alive! And I love that it’s placed in 1900 and in the Great Smoky Mountains! The cover art is colorful and gorgeous and it just has such a strong storyline and message! This book should probably be for readers ages 10-11+/5th grade and up, because it does have some violence, and some blood. Read it now! Please like and follow! Bye!

i really like this book and it so good so read it and hope u like it😍😉😋😜😝

This is the 3rd and final installment in the Moon Base Alpha series by Stuart Gibbs, and this book was a great conclusion to this series. Dash Gibson is celebrating his birthday, which isn't very exciting as you would think. But his parents are making it work, by getting him candy and letting him go on the moon to play catch, but when Nina catches them, they know they are in trouble. Only thing is, they are not. Instead, Nina needs Dash to solve a case. Lars has been poisoned, and now it's Dash who needs to solve the case before more people get sick. But Dash doesn't want. The only reason he is is because Nina is threatening him to, because if he doesn't, his family may never be able to go home. Will Dash solve the case of who poisoned Lars, or will his family, and many others, continue to be in danger of food poisoning? Stuart Gibbs did it again in this final book in the MBA series, and I give it 4 starts for the mystery and action that took place!

In my opinion, this book had some positives and negatives, so I'll be writing this review in that format. Positives: This book has a really cool, unique plot, not like anything I've seen before. Also, there aren't really any moments in the book where things aren't full of action, meaning you won't get too bored while reading this. Negatives: Since the book went quickly, it missed a few points that would have really helped to make things make sense. See, the author never really explains how things happen. The characters just set a plan to go somewhere and end up there, but there's no in-between. Also, the characters don't have much depth to them, and the girl characters are usually overlooked! There isn't much attention put on them! Also, this book was quite confusing. I think since it was quite a quick read for me, that stopped it from being anywhere near as confusing as some books I've read, but still, it's just not one of my favorites. Overall, I was expecting a lot more from this book. I've been wanting to read it for a while now, but I'm kinda disappointed. I must say though, Amanda and Finn would be a cute couple!
