My Reaction to the Book:  I thought this was a really good book.  I remember reading these books in third grade and loving them.  They are just really good mysteries for kids to read.

Potential Problems:  There are bank robbers in the story, which would be a potential problem.  Other than that thought I think its fine.

Recommendations:  I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, it is a very entertaining mystery story for kids.
