Kids Books - Detectives

The third novel in the NERDS series is my favorite one! A super spy named Matilda Choi is acting like a cheerleader (a person that she hates being) and finding the one bad apple in the bunch; a former team member. But who could it be? Can it possibly be Tiffany, who is very agile; something that could be taught to a spy? Or Lily, an only child, just like the bad guy that Matilda is after? How can she possibly find the villain? Maybe it is time to call a very specific person. But can she really trust Heathcliff Hodges, a traitor to the NERDS?

What an amazing way to end the series! But I don't think he should have brought back Opal Kobai for the fourth time! He should have brought in a new bad guy instead. I do think he should make a series about the childhood of one of the other main characters in the book. I would still recommend it for tweens.

The Great Sherlock Holmes- wait, did I say Sherlock? No, I meant The Great Shelby Holmes… there so analogous in personalities, I almost confused myself! Okay… maybe I’m a bit exaggerating, after all she doesn’t smoke a pipe like Sherlock, but Detective Shelby is best of the best… Did I tell you that she’s nine and is in sixth grade! Although she may be someone one would want to underestimate.. I REPEAT: Do not underestimate Detective Shelby (trust me on that one)... Meet Dr. John Hamish Watson- aww man I did it again! I meant John Watson…. Sherlock Holmes’s friend and associate… AGAIN, I got myself carried away… Anyways, John Watson is the kid who moves near Shelby’s home- sure the way I talk about him seems unimportant… but John and Shelby are the true key in order to solving a case… well… any case. The thing is Shelby never had any friends… and she would one aloof duck… but it’s would okay because she would always be engrossed in solving mysteries and pissing off incompetent detectives adults like Inspector G. Lestrade… oops I meant Detective Lestrade(except Inspector Lestrade can be more respected instead of Detective Lestrade- you’ll realize why), but it makes complete sense… Detective Lestrade is incompetent, very immature (I would have mistaken her for a nine year old instead of an adult) Anyways, Shelby shows John around the vicinity and John speculates how Shelby is a celebrity (well, sort of), everybody acknowledges her and asks if she wants something… One day when Shelby was “walking” John, Tamra— a student from The Academy— was in a dire need of help… Her show dog, Daisy, was missing! So on they go to their “perilous” journey. So as Shelby and John observes around Tamra’s opulent home, they come across Zareen and her dog and Zane. They actually come across a lot of suspects, but not that many evidence… Uh oh! Could it be Zareen because she’s jealous of Tamra and she wants all the attention.. Or could it be the dog trainer, Emerson, who was caught in a lie? Oh, could it be Tamra who did it to go to Paris with her sister? . Wait we’re not at that part yet… Anyways John feels bad because he thinks he’s using Shelby to make “actual friends” like Zane, who can “play ball” like Watson (sorry, I’m just testing out the nickname Shelby has for John which is Watson)... As they looked through the evidence and the “crime scene,” so many elements come in play which is why it’s so hard to find the culprit- but not to Shelby and John. While John was playing pickup basketball with Zane and his friends, they obtained a lead! DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN… Could this be the breaking point and are they going to find the culprit? So this story was such a fun break from reading depressing short stories… I was completely shocked about who did it… I really liked the overall message and the content itself.. It really reminded me of Friday Barnes- a book- I REALLY RECOMMEND… And it all comes down to this: what everybody needs is a true friend. For people who enjoy solving mysteries, Sherlock Holmes, and reading about friendship, this book is for you! Hope you read this amazing, mysterious, adventurous, and suspenseful book… because it WILL keep you up! Enjoy!

What's creepy, mysterious, and that you can really relate too? It's The Time of the Fireflies by Kimberly Griffiths Little. It's very, very creepy and mysterious, if I haven't made that clear already. But the girl in the story, Larissa can be related to by almost anyone! Larissa's family has just moved to this new town where her mother lived when she grew up. They live in an antique shop, but there's one thing that they don't sell. They keep it in a locked glass box. It is a doll. An heirloom, really. With secrets from the past. Larissa receives a message on an old phone that's not supposed to work. It says: Follow the Fireflies. Trust the fireflies. Larissa finds the fireflies and goes back in time to when her great, great grandmother was a little girl and realizes that the doll was there since then. And everything bad that happened to the people in Larissa's family, the doll had seen it. When she gets back, her mother has news that she is going to have a baby girl. But the next day, her mom and the doll are gone. Her mother must have taken her doll with her. If everything Larissa knows about the doll is true, then her mother is in danger. Grave danger. Through suspense, and magic a secretive and mysterious book is unleashed: The Time of the Fireflies.

This interesting book is called The Peculiar Incident on Shady Street . It was written by Lindsay Currie. It was written in 2017. I thought it was the best book ever because of the interesting ,scary,and amazing settings. Tessa moved to Chicago and she hated it. The streets smelled like sewer.That night there was crying and footsteps.At School, she met Andrew,Richie, and Nina who said’’ it might be Inez Clark’’. So then they investigated.They figured out something in the end that you have to read it to find out . I believe that the that the best part was when they were in the graveyard. And they when to Inez’s grave.Then it got dark. Then there was crying and fog. They were running for the gate and Nini went missing into the fog. I thought the setting was amazing. I think this because a house on Shady Street that used to be a graveyard in Chicago.The windy city.There is so much to explore there. In that wonderful place where all the amazing things are. I strongly believe that the amazing setting and awesome city was a good choice .I recommend the people that like ghosts and mystery.

All the short stories in this book are fantastic! But I love "the adventure of the Abbey Grange" especially. This case is mystery. The dead man met his death at midnight and the murderer is gone. Whether police or private detectives both cannot figure out who is the criminal. Until Sherlock Holmes involved to solve this mystery. The plots are compact. I cannot wait to know the conclusion. I consider that this case is the most complex one that I have ever seen. But finally, Sherlock solved the crime again successfully. Overall, this story is an extraordinary one.

It makes me want to read up to one hundred books I am lyric 11 years old

Read this book, 'HUNTING FOR HIDDEN GOLD'! Do you like suspense, danger, and mysteries? This has all three of them! The Hardy boys meet very many dangerous times and suspense. But nothing hinders the boys! They bravely go through the mysterious fog and finally, they solve it! I love~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~this book!

Mark rosenbloom can NOT be Vesper One. I wont go into ALL the details, but remember Mycintire was stabbed with a hypodermic needle, and right before was all like, "YOU!!!" So it was obviously a familiar face, (maybe Amy and Dan's dad, Arthur Trent because he was angry that Grace's and Hope's lawyer didn't, like, testify for the terrible fire that gulped up his wife, Hope?) Also, Vesper One has a nasty scar on his arm from a "Cahill event", (maybe the fire??!) Also , he sent Dan messages on the special phone, so he must be in, like, a Vesper position with great authority. He sent, "SUSPEND JUDGMENT", maybe cause he knew his kids saw the Vespers unbeleivably evil, but he didn't want them to think that of their own father? And, "The whole story is more complex than it's parts", (What could be more complex than thinking your own father wandered to the dark side, but he thinks he has a good reason? Also, he was in the Vespers before he married Hope, so it wouldn't be too hard to get back in See who I'm pointing at here??

After getting shunned from the mansioning apprentice master, Elodie has nowhere else to go. Without money, shelter, or any friends, she finds help from the dragon, called Meenore. Elodie uses her deductive thinking to solve a mystery in Two Castles. I would recommend this for ages 10+ I usually like mysteries so I thought that this one was also quite good. The pace was okay but in the end the plot had such a surprising twist!!! I still like Ella Enchanted better though.
