Customer Reviews

The best book I ever read!(...)

This book is a bit scary but, if you're age 9-11 and like to read this book is for you. If you like a good mystery read this book. It's AWESOME!(...)

Fast action and lots of fun

The Abby Jones mysteries are invariably fast-paced, exciting, and funny. This one, the first, has the most surprisingly adventuresome action, what with jumping onto subways and chasing people around in bare feet, breaking into apartment buildings, and climbing down onto a fire escape from a tall building's roof. All in all a huge amount of fun.

This book is an excellent adventure for the 9-12 age group!

I had just bought this book for my daughter. She has often read it over and over,, and enjoys all the characters, plots, and settings. Definetly two thumbs up

If you like mysteries, Hyacinth Macaw is for you!

This book is about a girl that wants to solve a mystery so she can get a reward. But first she has to find someone. I would give this book five stars because it is interesting and scary in some parts of the book. It also made me laugh.
