review 1: I read this to 5th grade classes at my school. They loved the idea of cracking codes to solve the mystery, and were completely intrigued with the story of ex-inmates from Alcatraz and a treasure hunt. As we read the book, we followed the action on maps, since we are in the SF Bay Area. All the action takes place in places many of the kids had been to. Very clever and great mystery reads for middle grades.
review 2: The Haunted Lighthouse is the second book in the Codebusters Club series and is a fun mystery read for young readers.I really enjoyed reading about Cody, Quinn, Luke and M. E. as they get all excited about their new adventure. At the end of book one they had received a clue about some treasure on Alcatraz. Since they were going to be going Alcatraz o... moren a field trip they new this was a new mystery for them to solve. Each clue is written in some sort of code format which the reader can try and decipher themselves or cheat like me and look in the back of the book.As the group follows the clues they learn about Diamond Dave who was a jewel thief and was caught and sent to Alcatraz. Rumors of his hidden diamonds has always sparked interest. When the group hears about this they think that is the treasure they are suppose to find. In their excitement to try and locate the treasure, they don’t always pay attention to who is around them when they talk. This sometimes leads them into trouble, especially when a lot of jewels are involved.Their adventure takes them from the prison, to a lighthouse, then a bell tower and more. If you have a young reader who is in the books like 39 clues or A to Z mysteries then they will have a lot of fun with the Codebusters club books. I can’t wait to see what the group is up to in the third book. less
