Reader’s Review
The third book in the series; fans of the first two will be excited to read the third one. Some readers find this book to be less exciting than the first two, but there is still a lot of danger, mystery, and puzzle solving to engage readers. Similar issues as with the other two books in terms of perilous situations and violence, but some good themes such as trust, friendship and fighting for good shine through.
To look out for
- Islamic Values: As part of solving their mysteries, children eavesdrop and spy on others.
- Violence: Children face a lot of peril and danger, bad guys wield briefcases with weapons of darts, guns and shocking watches. An adult has broken bones after a fall.
