Kids Books - Detectives

When I picked up this book I had no idea how absolutely incredible it would be. Within the first few pages I was already hooked! I reread this book a dozen times, it never seems to get old! It's about a girl named Sunny, and her incredible journey in Nigeria. As well as how she took something she wasn't proud of (her albinism) and figured out it was the most incredible thing about her. This book took me through a magical, mystical journey of modern day magic. you guys got to read this book. let me give you the intro about this book! Twelve-year-old Sunny lives in Nigeria, but she was born American. Her features are African, but she's albino. She's a terrific athlete, but can't go out into the sun to play soccer. There seems to be no place where she fits in. And then she discovers something amazing—she is a "free agent" with latent magical power. Soon she's part of a quartet of magic students, studying the visible and invisible, learning to change reality. But will it be enough to help them when they are asked to catch a career criminal who knows magic too? bye for now.

Edmund Lonnrot is a normal 11 year old kid. Well, except for his photographic memory and his amazing drawing abilities. One day his father tells him that he was losing hours at work, making them unable to afford Edmund's school. That all changes when the police come to Edmund with unusual request. Work for them and they would pay for Edmund's school next year. You see the police have been unable to solve a crime because the suspects keep changing the way they look. Eddie's job? Go to the art museum and draw anyone suspicious. If they're able to catch the thieves the NYPD will pay for Eddie's education next year. I liked this book because it was so fast paced. I didn't like the way the adults acted in this book and the twists were kind of predictable. But, I think fans of mysteries and Theodore Boone will absolutely love Eddie Red: Mystery on Museum Mile!

After finally getting the Darkdeep under control (or so they thought), Opal, Emma, Logan, Tyler, and Nico realize that there's more to Still Island and the houseboat than meets the eye... Opal starts hearing a weird voice in her mind, directing her and telling her what to do next, and Opal just KNOWS that it's the green alien-like blob Thing in a Jar. As the 5 friends discover more and more about their jobs as Torchbearers, things just get crazier. It's the season of Halloween in Timbers, and with the chilly weather and pumpkin spice lattes, tourists are drawn in by the town legend of the Beast. And not just tourists. A low-quality YouTube series is in town, hoping to capture footage of the Beast and film interviews with kids in town to gain fame and fortune. When the Torchbearers find out that the legendary Beast is REAL, they have to do everything they possibly can to stop the camera crew -and the rest of the town- from finding him or the other figments that have been running rampant with no end in sight. Will the Torchbearers be able to wrangle all the figments into place? Where is Thing in a Jar from, anyway? And why is the tide turning red right outside Still Island and the newfound yet mysterious Rift? I really really really loved this book! One thing I would recommend is reading the first book in the series, "The Darkdeep," before reading this sequel. If not, it's easy enough to pick up, but I did find it helpful to read the first book! It was as fantastic as this book was! I loved how the alternating perspectives switched between Opal and Nico, and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book! I would totally give this book 5/5 stars, and I recommend this series to anyone looking for a spooky Halloween-y mystery series to read this fall! Double thumbs up!

I love this book, it's a real page turner, every time i say one more page, i end up reading 10 more pages. Claire, Jeff, and David are always up for mysteries, and looking for clues. They are hearing strange sounds in the school, but what is it? read the rest yourself. This book is my favorite Cabin Creek Mysteries book so far.

Well-written and nicely illustrated, as usual. But I really miss the humor in the original Geronimo books. The sisters are a bit monotonous, beyond their clothing, hairstyle and skills. Also the amount of education info is kind of tiring. A sufficiently good story will intrigue readers to seek them out on their own.

this book looks really good and it is a mystery I like mystery

this ending was amazing, wow! it was all wrapped up perfectly and noemi and abel deserve to be happy together. it is also a super quick read.

I am reading the last book well not the last I can't wait for the new Friday Barnes book my best friend loves Ian. I am in love with Binky he sounds so cute💗

The Timmy Failure series by Stephan Pastis, is a very hilarious fiction series about a boy named Timmy Failure, who has a detective business, and solves them in the most silliest ways. This book is really funny, and i recommend it to those starting to read hard chapter books.

All Fall Down is an AWESOME novel! It's about 16 year old Grace who has a problem. She vividly remembers her mother's murder. She remembers the Scarred Man, and the flames, and her mother's last words, "Grace, no!" A Grace moves to Embassy Row in Adria, where countries's ambassadors reside, she meets many people. There's Grandpa, her stubborn grandfather who refuses to let Grace think the death is not an accident and pays for her therapists with his ambassador-of-America money. There's Ms. Chancellor, who knows Grace's mother and wants to be Grace's friend. There's Noah, Rosie, and Megan, three Embassy Row kids who have some hidden talents. Then Alexei, the Russian ambassador's kid who keeps tabs on Grace for stupid reasons(according to Grace). And then there's the Scarred Man, who lives on Embassy Row. Grace tells Noah, Rosie, and Megan about her mother's death, and they help her keep tabs on him. But everything in Grace's world falls down once she learns three terrible truths: the Scarred Man is the right man at the night of her mother's death, he didn't kill her mother, and the last one shatters her. When everyone says it's an accident, they were right; Grace killed her mother. Of course, Ally Carter couldn't fit every adventure of Grace's into this book, so the series continues. Next time I go to the library, I will definitely get the next two books.
