author:  Phillip Tomasso 
description: <span><b>&quot;I truly enjoyed reading this book. It was captivating and kept your interest. Tomasso did a great job introducing the characters and scenes with just enough information to keep your attention: yet, he didn&apos;t bore you with too many details. I think this book will appeal to all kids, but especially the young men looking for a good read.&quot;--Pam Bless,<i>Round Table Reviews<br /><br /><br /></i></b></span><span></span><span></span><div><b><i></i></b></div><div><b><i></i></b><div><b><i></i>&quot;[Tomasso]&apos;s fantastic mystery for children is a well thought outstory that has a few twists thrown in to satisfy avid mystery fans. The great thing about the main character is that he doesn&apos;t have a photographic memory or superior intellect; he&apos;s just a bright kid who wants to help his friends with their problems. Tomasso has done a masterful job of creatinglikable, interesting characters with a fast moving plot. I look forward to discussing this book with my FIRST book group, as well as further installments to the Jay Walker mystery series.&quot;--Dorothy Distefano, FIRST (Families Invited to Read and Share Together) Founder/Facilitator<br /><br /></b></div><div><b><b></b></b></div><div><b><b></b></b></div><div><b><b></b><div><b><div></div><div></div><div>&quot;A great book for children.It is well plotted and lets the reader use their mind to explore the clues and suspects. Not only entertaining but a wonderful way to let young people use their imagination constructively and perhaps solve the mystery for themselves.I loved the book.I recommend it highly.&quot;--Louise Riveiro-Mitchell,<i>Book Review Cafe</i></div></b></div></b></div></div>
