funstm | 3 weitere Rezensionen | Dec 17, 2022 | It's a crazy, bumpy ride for Bethany and her diminutive boss/partner, Max, to get to the conclusion of this one. Mysteries solved, revelations, um - revealed. And godsloveher, Granny G gets the best lines. Lol!
Lots of fun for PPD fans, as always.

Wanda-Gambling | 3 weitere Rezensionen | May 9, 2020 | The Camelot Kids by Ben Zackheim The Camelot kids is packed with adventures and action. It great for all ages of kids. Simon finds out his parents died. Simon want to find a place to belong. He starts to have dreams. A place named Camelot. Is there really a place called New Camelot?
Someone is trying to find him and wants him dead. Who could want him dead? He meets up with several different kids and is thrown from one action to another. He seem to be trying survive. Who could be King Arthur, Lancelot, many others? There seems to be more questions then answers.
What all will Simon be dealt with and understand. He makes friends and loss some as well. Their seems to be a mystery around the corner of each paged turned. I had a little bit of a hard time getting into it at the beginning of the book. Once the action started and the adventures. I was able to read it and understand it. It then seem like King Arthur and Round Table.
Pictures are done well. I really enjoyed looking at pictures. Images or pictures are colorful. I was looking and staring at the pictures for a short period of time. Children would love it. This is good for children ages 12 and up.

leandrod | 3 weitere Rezensionen | Feb 10, 2015 | Move over Sam Spade, there’s a new detective in town! Most reviewers suggest she’s Veronica Mars for grade-schoolers, but since I don’t know Veronica Mars I bow to their superiority and just say Shirley Link rocks!
Some years ago there was a brilliant TV series called Taken, nothing to do with the relatively recent film of the same name. It’s narrated by a girl, and starts with the Roswell Incident, I think. As soon as I started reading Shirley Link I had that same voice in my head – clever, cool and great fun. Lets you know what was happening without being over-cocky. Confidence-inspiring.
In Shirley Link and the Safe Case, Shirley introduces us to her friends, Marie and Wylie, her family (archaelogist dad, cop mom) and a number of people, both kids and staff, at school. Shirley has Sherlock Holmes’ ability to see a situation and deduce what caused it. She just doesn’t push it in your face like Mr Holmes does. I understood the key to what happened to the safe that was stolen from the principal’s office, I just didn’t see the solution. Almost, but not quite. I’d make a lousy detective. Maybe that’s why I love the genre.
Shirley Link and the Safe Case is the first of what I hope is a long series. It’s a quick read – partly because the writing is chirpy and interesting and you don’t want to put it down, but also because it isn’t very long. I think the sequels are slightly longer. I’m looking forward to reading the next one, and I’d go so far as to put this in the top three of my favourite reads this summer. Maybe top two. Definitely five stars!

Jemima_Pett | 3 weitere Rezensionen | Nov 11, 2014 | The second Shirley Link adventure is another rip-roaring success as she prevents and solves another dastardly crime set in her school.
This one has all the complexities of modern technologies, with a villain set on threatening Shirley with codes and viruses. But she is equal to the task, of course!
It's an exciting read for youngsters in the 9-12 age bracket, although I got a little confused by the ending (I'm sure they won't be).
I'm looking forward to the next in the series!
