Kids Books - Detectives

I read this book because a friend recomended it for me. It is really good, and I reccomend it. it is good for a bedtime book. I have to say, Alot of cliff hangers, good for 3rd/4th graders. Great joy reader, even better library book.

the unwilling unpire is a book about 4 friends that find a theif of baseballs my connection is that i have alot of good friends just like they do

This book surprised, as I usually find spooky books doing, such as Coraline. I set out preparing to be totally spooked out and bored, but it actually intrigued me... I left out the last star simply because while it was a fascinating read, it did not inspire me to do anything. All in all, worth the time, not my favorite, but that's just me.

This book has very funny adventures. I really enjoyed this grade 4 240 page book. Actually I am named after Nikola Tesla and who always wanted to be a mathematician and very intelligent with it. My second favorite subject, science, is a very fascinating which I learn a lot. My parents are biochemists and like to study biochemistry a lot (favorite hobby). Nick and Tesla discover really dangerous adventures like high-voltage. I also liked the mysterious part when they found many gadgets. The best part I liked was the part when they found a voltage lightning lab KABOOM. That's why I liked this book so much and 5 rated it. LOVED SO MUCH 5 star

Stuart Gibbs second book in the MBA series is as fantastic as the first. In this installment, Dashiell Gibson is still on Moon Base Alpha, a small moon station. Since it is a small place to live in space, everyone is shocked when the leader, Nina Stack, disappears from the base. Now it's up to Dash, again, to save their fearless and quite emotionless leader. But all clues lead to nowhere, and he might end up needing more help than he ever thought, and only one thing is for sure: The people in danger could be convicted themselves, and that means EVERYONE can be a suspect, even the ones in trouble. With his own secret on the line, and a friend who can help, Dash must find out where Nina went in order to keep everyone on the base alive. He needs all the clues he can get, but even alongside the people he trusts, could this mystery be too much for Dash to handle? I really liked this book, and I know you guys wouldn't want to miss out on such a fun filled mystery! Hope you enjoy this second book of MBA by Stuart Gibbs!

This book's genre is fantasy and it was written by Thea Stilton. This book is about a group of 7 mice. They are all brave, fearless, strong, caring, and kind. They save fantasy lands when the lands are in trouble. On this journey, they have to save the lands precious lotus flowers! All the creatures need the lotus flowers but the mice don't know that the flowers are being destroyed for a good cause! Their journey starts in the land of Minwa where they meet many mystical creatures. The main characters are a group of friends named Thea, Paulina, Colette, Nicky, Pam, and Will. They are all brave and fearless because they go on journey's where they could get trapped or sick and they can solve any problem! For example, in the book they discover that a creature is destroying magical flowers that keep the land alive and they are risking their lives to save the fairies, creatures, and the land from all dying. Two key events that "added" to the plot is the Thea Sisters split up getting information about the plot and calmed down mean creatures and made new friends. They "added" to the plot because they made new friends who had clues so helpful that they all added up and they were able to solve problems that the Thea Sisters didn't know about. At the beginning of the story Violet was shy even in front of her friends! She was too shy to present her creation to her friends. In the middle of the story is where we saw this change. On page 193, Violet yelled, "If it is you, Umibozu, stop hitting us!" Now Violet is brave and fearless because of her actions. One unanswered question that I'd like to ask the author is did the mice have to save the fantasy land again? I enjoyed it when all the mice joined together as a team again most about this book. I enjoyed it because they all shared their clues and I put them together and made and solved a clue. I would recommend this book because it has lessons on friendship and kindness and that is very important. Many kids would enjoy this book because it built excitement for me and it could for other kids.

Nicholas Benedict is a child genius. He can read any book in minutes, can figure out how to fix any machine, and has a phonographic memory. But he also has narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is a sleeping conditions that sends Nicholas in a deep sleep at any unexpected moment, but especially when he is experiencing strong emotions. Because of his character traits and his condition, Nicholas is sent to Rothchild's Manor after he is kicked out of a different orphanage. Here he is locked in his own room at night and bullied by the Spiders. He makes enemies and one friend-but will the pressure from the Spider's crack the friendship? Nicholas soon finds out about a mystery to solve-a hidden treasure. Turns out the founders of the orphanage (the Rothchilds) had more treasure-and part of it was missing, the secret buried with the couple. Nicholas is determined to find the treasure to free him from the orphanage life. But someone else is looking for the treasure-Mr. Collum, the orphanage director. Will Nicholas be able to beat Mr. Collum to the finish line? I liked in this book that Nicholas really makes having so much intelligence look like fun. In some other books children with incredible knowledge are portrayed in a negative fashion. I really liked that this was solid background information on Mr. Benedict from the series "The Mysterious Benedict Society". Now we meet Nicholas, his child self and learn where he came from, about his sleeping condition, and how he grew up. Although there are a few gaps, we now can understand Nicholas as an adult. The main character Nicholas, had depth. We felt what he was feeling, we understood him, we cried when he cried. However, the other characters seemed to be a bit predictable. John had a sob story background, and was hesitant to defy the bullies. Violet was kind and determined to help her family. Even though the characters had predictable faults I think Stewart did a great job of tying all the characters and the plot together so that the puzzle pieces fit. I also liked in this book that there were little hidden clues to the big picture. Stewart did a fine job of foreshadowing. I recommend this book to anyone 5th grade and up. I think the characters and overall mystery in this book would not be suitable for anyone below. On the other hand, I think this is the sort of book that any adult can read and still find enjoyable. I think this book is perfect for mystery lovers. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

this is a good book. If you have read the Mysterious Benedict Society books, you will most likely enjoy solving these puzzles! (even if you haven't read it)

Beautiful book!!! I think it will win a young readers award this year!!! I want to give a shout out to Make Burt! You did such a great job on this book! More to come Doggos!

I picked up this book randomly, and I wasn't even predicting this would be a good book. Twelve-year-old Lizzie Durango and her dad have always had a zoo to call their home. A typical day for Lizzie would be at the zoo, writing in her notebook about the wolves. Everything was fine until Tyler comes along. Tyler Briggs is a runaway who hides in the zoo. He was hiding behind the elephants' cage until Lizzie found him. He had tried to steal the food of a grandmother and her 2 grandchildren. They soon become friends, and Lizzie lets him stay at her apartment. Lizzie's mother passed away when she was just born. Tyler ran away. Tyler stays there until Lizzie's dad finds out he was there. He says it's not safe for him, but Lizzie says it's fine. They go on a camping trip in Karen's truck. They find out she's behind all the wolves getting sick. They also want to find John Muir's lost cabin. Will they stop her and find John Muir's cabin? I rate this book 5/5 and recommend it to camping lovers.
