Kids Books - Mysteries

the way i see it and read it is that this book is good and is pretty much every ones favorite if they read it and to me i think i would like it because it sounds like a scary exiting and cool book to read and i would like to no how many people have read it and loved it and then maybe i would be convinced.

The fourth book in this series has an awesome cliffhanger! It is a must read! Agent "Flinch" is observing a virus that seems to turn everyone into villains (hence the title of the book). When he too gets the virus, he discovers that he beat it and he is now immune to it. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about his teammates. When his teammates turn against him (and themselves), Flinch has to go in the body of Heathcliff's (their former teammate) body to turn off the source of the virus. But there might be another traitor in the midst...

Warning! This review contains spoilers. Someone kidnaps the president's daughter, and it's up to the NERDS to save her. They soon learn that Ms. Holiday kidnaped the president's daughter, so she could lead a team called the BULLIES. Their plan: go back in time and make sure the NERDS never existed. When her teammates start disappearing one by one, it's up to Pufferfish (with a little help from a newly reformed Heathcliff and Agent Brand) to save everyone. What I thought of it: It defiantly wasn't the best. I hoped for a better ending to the series. I really didn't like how in the end, pretty much every kid in the school became one of the NERDS. There are many reasons why that won't work. Reason 1: How are they going to explain to the school staff why all the kids in the school keep missing classes? Reason 2: How are they going to keep track of them all? In the end of the book, Pufferfish says something about organizing them, but how effective will that really be? Reason 3: How are they going to train them all? They can't effectively train hundreds of kids, unless they take them in smaller groups. But that would take a really long time, and the world will always need saving. The list could go on and on. One thing I did like was that they seemed to have completely dropped the whole "Duncan/Matilda" thing. I guess Mr. Buckley realized what a bad pairing that was. Overall it was ok.

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.

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.

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