Kids Books - Detectives

To me this was when the real storyline of Alex Rider begins. It is when he finds out about his family history and what his father really was and what SCORPIA is. To me all of the other books were like warm ups, getting you ready for the original. At the end of Eagle Strike, Yassen Gregorovitch tells him to go to Venice, Italy and find "SCORPIA". He listens to him and proceeds to Venice with Tom Harris, his best friend and suddenly finds himself getting tricked to work for SCORPIA by Julia Rothman, the main antagonist. I like how he was finally able to find out more about his father and how Anthony Horowitz again managed to make the book so amazingly realistic with such good details that must of had required a lot of research. It was also very long, so luckily since I couldn't put the book down, there was a lot to read.

Moon Over Manifest is a tale of community, understanding, and family, with a little bit of mystery mixed in. Strange people and events become less strange as this well-crafted puzzle comes together by the end of the novel. At the beginning of the book, Abilene's dad sends her away for the summer to live with an old friend in Manifest, a town he lived in for some of his childhood. Abilene does not have high hopes for the summer. She is unsure of why her father sent her and feels all alone. When Abilene discovers a hidden box of old letters and mementos, Abilene finds new purpose. She attempts to solve a small town mystery with a couple of new friends. As she begins to uncover pieces of the puzzle, she finds herself digging deeper and deeper into the history of the town of Manifest. Questions arise about about her own family history, and curiosity about her father leads Abilene to continue her search for truth and understanding. This is a great book for middle-grade readers. I enjoyed the complex characters and the idea that people, places, and stories are not always as they seem.

This book is hands down the best book ever! I saw it sitting in my teachers book shelf and gave it a chance. IT IS THE BEST BOOK EVER! It is filled with so many surprises and will give you the chills. You will not regret reading this book unless ghost and murder cases scare you. I never wanted the book to end. EVER! I can't wait to read her bad girls don't die series. It has to be just as good. Doesn't it? I think YES! Any who I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a love/ horror/comedy books.

Hilarious third installment in the series! PLEASE DO NOT TRY ANYTHING IN THIS BOOK AT HOME

There is a town called Remarkable and what would you guess, everything inside it is remarkable. Except one girl named Jane who was just an ordinary girl. Jane goes to an ordinary school, and she’s the only one that goes there. Other kids go to a gifted school called Remarkables school for the Remarkably Gifted. Her brother is gifted at painting, her sister is good at math. But, a lot of things change when the two Grimlet twins get into Jane’s school and cause tons of havoc. It all starts when a pirate named Captain Rojo Herring comes to live in the Town of Remarkable. He plays the fiddle one night with Jane’s grandpa and out comes Remarkable’s greatest attribute, they're Lucky! Lucky is a ‘’Sea Dragon’’, if you don’t really know what that is, look up Nessie the Loch Ness Monster. Well I wouldn’t like to call it a monster but you know…This is a big, big deal. The city would tell everyone and people would try putting her in a museum. Now, the people of Remarkable were creating a bell tower that made amazing music. While all this was happening the Grimlet twins asked their teacher, Ms. Schnabel, to teach them to be pirates. When this happened, the twins deeply regretted it, Ms. Schnabel turned into a mean pirate and made them do all the work that a real pirate would do. Jane and the twins weren’t able to tie any of the knots because they were too big. So, she asked her Grandfather if he could get her some knots and he did. Grandpa (Jane’s) didn’t know what to do because if Lucky hears the music from the bell tower then she will get seen. So, he took the ropes that made the music and gave them to Jane. When the city heard this, they put him in prison. Just before that, Jane was talking to Ms. Schnabel’s sister and found out that Ms. Schnabel was really the mean an ferocious Captain Penzing the Horrific. Jane’s grandpa got out of jail because there was no more room for him. Ms. Schnabel left, and left a package for Jane on the way there. It was a tiny puppy named Dirt! I really liked this book and hope I’m as Remarkable as Jane.

Rebbeca couldn't feel more out of place in New Orleans,where she comes to spend the year while her dad is traveling. She's staying in a creepy old house with her Aunt Claudia,who reads Tarot cards for a living. And at a fancy prep school,a pack of filthy rich girls treat her like she is invisible! I love Ghost stories and this is one!! I totally think you should read if you like Ghost books!

A heroine I can cope with! She takes action into her own hands instead of whining about it to others. Puzzled with the ending, so looking forward to the next installment.

It is very fascinating and funny but,it is also very educational it is the true story of Mathias Larimore #👍👍💖

I dicided to buy this book from my school's book fair, and then, when I read it, I almost immidiatly wanted a refund. This book's cover is SO lying. Its cover made me think that they would have pretty wetsuits that kind of looked like party dresses, but they never DID wear those! All they wore were white wetsuits with a colored stripe on it! That is not even close to what is on the cover! I do not recommend this book. Don't be fooled by its cover like I did!

WOW, this book was really good... I wasn't surprised how Cynthia Voigt started out all mysterious... but it was a fun easy relaxing book... the plot was on point and "Mister Max" was very mature and a problem solver.. I really enjoyed this book and even my brother liked the book too, so I guess this easy read was a win-win. :-)... and plus you have all these questions forming in your head wanting to read more and more... I hope you guys will enjoy this book too!
