The Brixton Brothers

review 1: Quick read and and pretty entertaining. Honestly, there were a couple of times I audibly gasped, then had to giggle because I didn't know how into the story I had become! Not super scary, but suspenseful at times. I love the way librarians are featured prominently in the story and Steve, the main character, is a likable kid. Of course, as an adult it's sometimes hard to suspend disbelief, but for 3rd-4th grade students, this is totally engaging. Slight bit of fluff - not as intense as a Theodore Boone, but certainly a good transition book for younger readers. I will definitely add more of these to my school's library and perhaps book talk it to get them psyched about reading it. Arte Johnson is an interesting choice as reader. I found myself repeating lines after h... moree had read them because they way he said things occasionally sounded weird. Not the best narrator in my opinion, but not everyone is a Jim Dale, right?
review 2: Lexile Level: 590Pages: 179 pgs (also available on audio)Summary: Steve Brixton, founder of the Brixton Brothers Detective Agency is an expert in detective skills. Skills he learned from the “Bailey Brothers Detective Handbook.” When his social studies assignment is to research Early American Needlework (instead of detectives like his best friend received), Steve reluctantly visits the library to research his topic. He checks out “An Illustrated History of American Quilting,” and instantly, Steve is thrown into a mystery that will challenge all of his detective skills. The first in a series, this book is fast-paced and fun. Recommendations or Comments: Recommend. I listened to the audio and it was great!Reviewed By: Jen A. less
