Customer Reviews

I hate reading and couldn't put this book down!

I've always been a reluctant reader and would prefer to play outside over reading any day. However, my school had a book fair and this book looked good. I took a chance on it and stayed up until 12:30 in the morning finishing it in one sitting. I could not put it down. I slowed down my reading as I came to the end because I didn't want it to end. I've never experienced this phenomenon of picking up a book that I could not pull myself away from until I finished it. I've heard about that happening but always doubted it. After all, it's reading- how interesting could it be. I chose to stay inside on a sunny day, with all my friends within earshot, playing just outside my window. I chose to stay inside and read. This is the book that I will always remember when I'm older as the one that turned me onto reading.

Exciting police story for kids!

My 8 year old son loved this book! Written at a third grade reading level, this book contains an exciting drama and real-world police procedures. I hope that more books like this, and CHASE, are written soon!
