Ron Roy
Perfection Learning Prebound, 2000
Fun Installment in a Solid Series
A new kid on the block (staying in Dink's house!), a little action (a kidnap!), a little language lesson (French!), and a lot of teamwork (involving both children, parents, and authority figures) leads to another intriguing tale and a happy ending. Ron Roy's A-To-Z-Mysteries have proven quite successful in our household. I've now read all eleven installments to my four-year-old son, and he ...

Take this book on vacation with you !
The characters come to life in the first few pages as does the suspense. This book is an international thrill story full of emotion. I was on edge wanting to know if Peter would ever find his children. The ending was not as I suspected which made me love the story even more. Take this paperback on vacation with you. You won't be disappointed.

ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON
BOUNTY BOOKS, 1994
A Great Book for Children
As an elementary school teacher, I found "Poetry for Young People" by Robert Louis Stevenson, illustrated by Lucy Corvino, a wonderful book. It's a great way to introduce poetry to children because the poems are short and easy to understand. The illustrations have magnificently detailed illustrations without being overly complex or confusing. The children are drawn to the pictures, which ...

Kidnapped
The way Tyler accepted that he was kidnapped and held on an island with other boys was great drama. Rad's feelings when he realized his little brother was missing broke my heart. Even though the authorities said Tyler drowned because the boys were floating the lake on a raft, Rad believed he was kidnapped and continued searching until he found him. I liked this book a lot and think all kids ...

Hungry Minds, 1974
Good Books
I thought these two books to be excellent. Treasure Island was a book that I wasn't quite sure that I would enjoy, but as I read further into it, I began to crave for more of R. L. Stevenson's works. So I decided to read Kidnapped. I'm part-way through it now. But I never expected them both to take place on boats. Well I new that Treasure Island's setting was mostly on a boat, but the way ...

Kidnapped (Nightmare Hall)2 reviews
Diane Hoh
Point, 1995
The adventure of a lifetime.
This is my favorite Nightmare Hall book. It's about a girl accused of kidnapping an adorable child from a day care center. Everything suggests that she is guilty and she is determined to get to the bottom of it. Who would frame her? More importantly, why? Romance and mystery are mixed together in this thriller for all ages. You'll love it

Ron Roy
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2002
Fun stories with a bit of knowledge thrown in for good measure.
My 8-year-old son has enjoyed this book series very much. The reading level is comfortably easy for him and he enjoys solving the mysteries. It keeps him reading and even teaches him some facts at the same time. I recommend this whole series.
