Alec Flint

review 1: First in a series! Alec Flint dreams of being a super sleuth. After all, his dad is a police officer. What better way to practice his sleuthing skills than when the entire Christopher Columbus exhibit has been stolen and there aren't many clues. Alec and Gina partner together to solve this mystery that seems to have the grown ups stumped. If you enjoy this story, try Ransom Note Blues - the second book in the series.
review 2: Cute little book - around 4th grade level, which is the same grade the main character Alec Flint is in. The book has actual facts about Christopher Columbus rather than the stuff I learned about as a child - plus Alec doesn't even like Columbus because of the whole issue of Native American treatment. But that point nor Columbus is... more over emphasized - mainly it is a mystery for a young reader. Alec also learns a secret code which was kind of cool! less
