highly recommended

A very enjoyable chapter book to read with the kids!

My two older boys (8 & 6) and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. What a great premise for a story that celebrates the wisdom and problem solving skills of our children. I really liked the fact that it takes what would otherwise appear to be an ordinary family heirloom (grandfather's magnifying glass) & creates an adventure from it. In today's technology age this is a welcome retreat and allows our children to use their imaginations. I can't help but think that my children must be creating the history associated with the objects in our house - what a great thing!

My kids really related well to the heroes Jake and Alexa. They also found Rex the Cat to be hilarious. This book is entertaining, exciting and funny (with a little magic and family mixed in as well). We all really liked the ending of this book and are looking forward with great anticipation to many more Misadventures of Inpector Moustachio!

Teacher who love's good books!

I am a big fan of Magic Tree House for younger students. I have been looking for a series that would be great for 3rd and 4th graders. I think I have found it. My students started reading it and they are falling in love with it!

both books on The Misadventures of Inspector Moustachio

The Mystery At Comanche Canyon - The Misadventures of Inspector MoustachioThe Case Of Stolen Time - The Misadventures Of Inspector Moustachio]]

Both these book are excellent for young boys ages 8-13. I bought them for my grandson who turned 9 and I added a magnifying glass for him to "discover things". He and his 11 year old brother are delighted. These are a modern version on the style of the old Bobbsey Twin books. Adventures and fun without violence.

Definitely a two-thumbs up! I would recommend this book to all parents of young children. The adventures of Jake, Alexa, and their cat Rex really bring this book to life. I really enjoyed reading this book. I felt as if I was part of the story myself. While reading, my children were always thrilled to see what would happen next in the book. They absolutely LOVED the book and they, including I, are looking forward to the next series of The Misadventures of Inspector Moustachio!

2007 RIF (Reading Is Fundamental) Booklist Pick! See for yourself why children, parents, educators and librarians LOVE "The Case Of Stolen Time"! The mysteries of the universe are in the palm of the hand of an unsuspecting, Jake Moustachio. His Grandpa's seemingly ordinary magnifying glass is the portal to a world of fantastic misadventure and mysterious crimes . Awaiting our young detective is Delbert, The Keeper of Time. A nervous stumpy little man, who has summoned young Moustachio to The Museum of Time; a strange and spooky castle once owned by the famous archaeologist Lord Grimthorpe. A mystical bell that controls all time has been stolen! To find out who has snatched The Bell of Time, Jake, joined by his eight year old sister Alexa and their crazy cat Rex must use their keen detective skills to gather clues, while encountering a collection of strange and curious suspects throughout their misadventure. Was it Mrs. Smythe, the mad capped, knife swinging cook, with her poisonous lemon tarts, who stole time? Maybe it was Delbert's twin brother Rupert, the grumpy, jealous librarian of time, who snatched the bell? Could it have been the evil, lying Lord Beasley, seeking his revenge? Or was it the beautiful and secretive Mrs. Panosh, wanting to hide her dastardly deed who is guilty of the crime? Time is running out for our young detective and his companions, as they go on a wild goose ride, chased by suits of armor, haunted by the spirits of The Knights of Lion Heart. Will the spirits stop them from finding time? There is only one guy who can solve this crime and restore time back where it belongs. Inspector Moustachio is his name, and solving mysterious crimes is his specialty!
