This review is by Allegra, age 15.
General rating: 3 out of 4--a very good read.
This book is set in Ireland. Fletcher "Moon", also known as "Half Moon", is a 12-year-old private investigator who is hired by a girl from his school named April. She wants him to find a lost possesion. This leads him to a very large conspiracy.
1. Is it plausible? The 12-year-old private investigator isn't really plausible, but overall it was reasonably believable.
2. Is it thought provoking? Not really. You're usually too engrossed in the story to have any meaningful thoughts.
3. Is it engaging? It is very engaging.
4. Is it uplifting? Yes. There are some low parts and some high parts, but all in all it's pretty uplifting.
Language: none
Sex: none
My recommendation: Ages 10 and up would probably be ideal for this novel. I liked it because of the mystery that was involved. It was very interesting and had lots of twists and turns which kept me anxiously engaged in it. Also it was written by Eoin Colfer, who already has a long "rap sheet" of good books. (BTW, Isaiah, age 12, read it and said it was "okay".)
