a-z mysterys The Jaguars Jewel

I think this story is exciting, thrilling and very good. I thouroughly enjoyed this book was what my nine year old boy had to say.

Where is the Real jewel?

The question the three children must answer in this mystery is what happened to the real jewel and where is it? This mystery is a great one for young children. The books seem to be written with a second/third grade reading level and directed towards children that like mysteries between the ages of 7-9. The children in this book are believable and are the types of children you want to have as friends for your child. They exhibit positive character traits. The mysteries have kept my son guessing and he keeps asking for more of these books.

Series Review

The "A to Z Mysteries" is very good. The series is about 3 kids: Dink, Josh and Ruth Rose. The author is Ron Roy. The kids solve mysteries. Book 10, "The Jaguar's Jewel," Book J, is my favorite. It is about Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose. They go to see a museum in Manhattan. There is a golden jaguar statue with gleaming red eyes. It has an emerald between its paws. Read the book to find out what else happens! The books are a little creepy. They have titles like "The Zombie Zone," and "The Deadly Dungeon." Book J is my favorite because I love to go to museums. I enjoy this series because I have a Detective Agency. I enjoy my Agency. by Grace L.

I loved it,

Im nine and this book is the best A-Z mystery ever. If you want to read a good book read A-Z mystery and the Jaguars Jewel. I loved it because I love mysterys and I licked the name Dr pitts [...].

The Jaguar's Jewel

Once again Ron Roy managed to keep my 7 year old in suspense. The plot was a little more predictable than usual, but this did not detract at all from the fun and mystery! WE highly recommend this book for all young readers. We can't wait for "The Kidnapped King"!
