Kids Books - Detectives

This book was so breathtaking! The illustrations were beautiful, and the story was well-written. I think this author really knows what he is doing; he's created THREE best-selling novels loaded with fascinating drawings and impressive stories. But THIS book is about a boy named Billy Marvel who is rescued and sent to England after a tragic shipwreck. He then discovers the Royal Theater, where he finds he truly belongs. One day, he finds a baby boy on his doorstep, and takes him in as one of his own. This boy adapts to the theater, has a son, and the story continues. The story then skips ahead to 1990. A new boy named Joseph is in search for his uncle after running away from his strict school with his friend, Blink. A mysterious friend, Frankie, helps Joseph find his uncle, but his uncle refuses to take him in. Eventually, he agrees, but not for long. Read to find out what happens next! This book is SO good, so read it!

This is a really good book that follows the first book well. The only thing I wish is that there would be another book in this series. This is a great book.

Cam Jansen went to a book signing from a famous dog. The famous dog had white fur and black spots. Someone switched him out with a fake all white dog that had shoe polish rubbed on the exact same spots. Cam follows this strand looking man with a dog and he is cutting up words from a magazine and gluing them down on a sheet of paper. The guy is eventually caught and the real famous dog is back with its owner. I gave this book a four star rating because although it is a very good book and can get a little boring at times. I could relate to this book because once my dog went missing and we looked at dogs everywhere outside that looked like him.

This book is for lower lexiles but it sounds like a good book.Caroline Keene was a good author, I read all of the Nancy Drew and Hardy boys books

This book is pretty good, it is about a jungle survival story, kinda funny, good story, and a little sad. But I still enjoyed it. I am now reading it the third time.

My friend actually showed me this book. it was filled with mystery and I like seeing how each character was developing. read this book if you like mystery.

The Haunted Museum Titanic Locket is a great book! It is about two sisters going on a cruise but first they stop at the haunted museum.

Before reading this book I was a little skeptical, but it turned out to be an amazing book. I read it with my class, because the teacher assigned it to us and couldn't put it down. Though it isn't entirely true story, the author, Jack Gantos, used his name for the main character and some characters are based off real people. Jack, a kid who has grown up in Norvelt his whole life, and when nervous gets bloody noses, is just starting summer vacation. But when he does some things that upsets his mother and one final act to set her off, he finds himself spending his time with Miss Volker, the old woman nearby, and the rest grounded in his house. Miss Volker has been it Norvelt her whole life and knows everyone there so she's in charge off the obituaries for the local paper. But whats starts as a normal summer job (against Jack's will) , turns into a mystery as the old ladies of Norvelt start dropping dead and can only take Miss Volker and Jack to get to the bottom of. It is a very fun book that will be making you beg for the second, just like it did to me, but luckily it will be coming out sooooon!!!!!!!
