This sounds like a young adult book with a typical story of a youngster who somehow manages to get involved in the adult world of espionage and crime but as a good character. Obviously lighthearted, it seems to be a nice almost escapist type of novel, nice to read while waiting for an appointment or something. The review covered it very thoroughly and made it sound somewhat appealing even if it sounds too juvenile for my tastes.

This sounds like a fun and exciting read, without being overly demanding on the reader. You really seem to have taken an interest in the series which maybe suggests that this is a book worth reading. Many thanks for the review.

I like the manner Justin tackles the murder mystery against his father. Even though I am not ready to read the work now, I can for tell the sadness in the narrative. Crime is something mystical, but I feel lazy to follow the acts of criminals.

This sounds like an exciting young adult spy novel. This book is about a kid trying to find his Dad's murderer but also has a light, funny side to it. Congrats on the book of the day! Great review.

I'm looking forward to reading Code Name: Dodger by Eric Auxier because, according to reviewer CataclysmicKnight, it is a mix of various pop influences - "streetwise teen + James Bond + the wild ridiculousness of something like Home Alone." And he says, the plot is "80% fun and 20% serious." Now. one has got to see how Mr. Auxier mixes these influences to produce an 80-20 fun-serious stuff that is not being pulled by seven horses in different directions, and has a steady buildup to a timely climax.

This certainly looks like a great crime buster novel. Solving murder mysteries involve high levels of intelligence. Sometimes, the exercise can be extremely risky.
Thanks for your review.

Might be interesting. Unfortunately not to me, but to certain age audience. Will recommend to my kids and to my friends with children, because it sounds like hilarious book.

Agent 007 meets Kevin McCallister of Home Alone! I expect a fun read with a lot of action (realistic and otherwise). The sample clearly shows the book is for the young crowd, but we harassed adults need light material, too, to chill out.

Let's join Justin in seeking justice for his dad. Beware, Pharaoh! We are coming to get you!

This book sounds like a lot of fun. I loved the Artemis Fowl series as a kid, and I bet I would've enjoyed this one, too!
