The 6 year old loved it. But as he also loved the first thirteen books in the series, no one is surprised.
A fun play, but I wouldn’t buy it in for Year 9 which is where we need more plays. Some suspicious rhythm in the rap sequences. Maybe I’m just not cool enough to get what they’re doing? But I get Shakespeare’s rhythm, so maybe not.
So Paper Plus had this in the YA section, and I’m scouting new books for my classroom library. It was totally misplaced; this is not a book for teenagers. I did like that I couldn’t predict all the plot twists and there is some snappy dialogue.
Book 1 was more innovative but this is still a solid crime story. Significant character development seems to be setting up for a great series finale.
A bit slow paced for me, but a cool concept, even though I don’t quite care enough about any of my own family recipes to seek professional help.
