The book “Spy School” by Stuart Gibbs is an amazing book for fourth and fifth graders. This book is a mystery but has lots of realistic situations. Ben, an eleven year old boy gets recruited for “Spy School” because he played around on the web. At the school Ben finds a girl that he likes. She is an amazing spy and helps him on lots of missions. Ben just got there but already has a big mission. He is bait for the enemy. To find out what happens next read the book. It is amazing, with lots of action. “Spy School” is so fun to read. This is the first book in an awesome series. I would highly recommend this book to fourth grade and up. Recommended by R.Y.

I am reviewing the book Nancy Drew and the Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene. Nancy is a teenage girl who likes doing detective work. This book is a mystery about whether or not someone who died had written a second will. The will is important because all of the money went to one family who did not need it, and the person who died told many other people he would give them some of the money and those people need the money. It has 20 chapters and 180 pages. If you like mysteries you will like this book because there are a lot of surprises and it keeps you guessing until the end. It is a really good book because it gives you a lot of detail. An example of this is when they describe the clock: old, not working, brown, old fashioned, and had a moon on top. I also like the book because it takes Nancy on a lot of different adventures, some of which are pretty dangerous. (She gets locked in a closet by robbers!) In conclusion, I enjoyed reading this first book in the Nancy Drew series. I am looking forward to reading more about Nancy’s adventures this summer. (there are 64 books in total!) Recommended by S.W. The book “The Hardy Boys - The Tower Treasure” by Franklin W. Dixon is a fictional mystery book with lots of action. The main characters are Joe and Frank Hardy who are two teenage brothers and their father, Fenton, is a famous detective who solves lots of cases. In this book, which takes place in the fictional town of Bayport, there is a robbery of very expensive jewels from a tower and the owners are offering a large sum of money to whoever finds the treasure. Fenton Hardy doesn’t take the case because he is already busy with another job, so Joe and Frank decide to investigate it themselves. The theme of “The Tower Treasure” is teenage detectives, Joe and Frank, racing around Bayport trying to solve their case with some tips from their father. I agreed with most of the decisions that they made during their investigation but some of the decisions were not so good. For example, when they were chasing a suspicious man, Frank stopped running and Joe kept going and the suspect knocked out Joe and took him away in a car. I do not understand why Frank let Joe chase after the man by himself. I liked that when you are reading this book that you are on the tip of your seat because there are so many very interesting twists and turns in this adventure. I recommend this book to 4th and 5th graders who like action and mystery books because this story is filled with action, mystery, and adventure. This is the first book in The Hardy Boys series. Throughout this series, there is continuous action and suspense so I recommend the whole series to anyone who enjoys this genre. Recommended by I.V. |
