Book Trends, a review site for young adult and children books, published several new book reviews this past week. We're presenting here a summary of those in the mystery / suspense category.

The Case of the Phony Masterpiece by Fred Rexroad. The second mystery in the Whiz Tanner series, recommended for readers aged 10 to 12. Lexile measure: N/A. Reviewed by a 6th grade student who writes, "I found The Case of the Phony Masterpiece to be a greatly intriguing story full of fun, humor, and action. This story would make a perfect childrens' movie, for everything came out in scenes."

Conspiracy 365: April by Gabrielle Lord. The fourth thriller in the Conspiracy 365 series, recommended for readers aged 13 and older. Lexile measure: 820L. Reviewed by a 6th grade teacher who writes, "The Conspiracy 365 series is quite possibly the most ingenious series created for kids. To coincide with Cal’s countdown to New Year’s Eve, the pages in each book appear in descending order. Each book is packed with action, perfect for any reluctant reader! Plus, as characters develop, the reader is drawn in even more."
