Reviews of Mystery and Suspense Books for Kids, New This Week on Book Trends (130511)

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

Theodosia and The Last Pharaoh by R. L. LaFevers. A Theodosia Throckmorton Fantasy Mystery (4th in series). Lexile measure: N/A (though two of the previous books in this series have been rated between 750L and 760L, and this one is likely to be comparable). Reviewed by a 6th grade student, who writes, "This book is just spectacular. I have many great things to say about this book so I'm going to start with the plot of the story. The beginning got me right into the book which I loved since in other books it takes me at least two to three chapters to actually get into the book. The rising action and climax were really fast-paced and suspenseful." (Read the full review of this mystery novel here.)
