Review
The second title in the Eddie Red Series provides a fun romp through a Mexican vacation for Eddie and his best friend Jonah. Early chapters provide the background information needed to appreciate the skills of this crime fighting detective team. Together with the assistance of Julie, the boys do crack the case and unravel the mystery.
Fun and well paced, this is a new series that is sure to take off. Educators and parents will appreciate the good writing while young readers will mostly focus on the high level of action and mystery.
Readers will be able to appreciate this mystery as a stand-alone but most young readers love to read series in order. Librarians will want to purchase Eddie Red Undercover: Mystery on Museum Mile when they order this second title for their young mystery readers.
Overall Book Score: very good
