Varuns book review

"What are these bloodstains on the floor?" This is one exciting example of a passage in the book Caught! By Willo Davis Roberts. This mystery book is about 2 girls. The older one is known to do stupid things and the other is her younger sister. Their father went to San Francisco and hasn't returned since! So they pack their bags, steal money from their piggy banks and set off on a journey. They are thinking, "is this a wise thing to do or are we just doing another stupid thing or even doing something deadly?" I think this book is awesome because it is exciting, heart pounding, thought provoking, mysterious, heart stopping, and will possibly cause fainting! This book is for children ages 7-15 that love mystery books.

A great mystery

"But Vickie who's blood could it be?" said Joanie after they ran away from home to visit their dad. When the girls get there and find that their dad is not home they go looking for him in the apartment. With the help of Jake, the boy upstairs, they find several spots on the floor covered in blood. When they see strange men in the alley they get suspicious and wonder where their dad might be. Is their dad all right and what are the men doing in the alley? This book is full of suspense. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and makes you keep reading to see what happens next. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to sit down and read a good mystery because you will definitely enjoy this action-filled story!
