Customer Reviews

The Golden Horde and the Dancin' Devil Shaman

In this series of book three young California beach kids/ geeks solve mysteries. The series of over 20 books were edited by Alfred Hitchcock. In many cases such as this one the text teaches logical thinking and introduces historical facts like in this one, the relationship of China and Europe to the Mongol hordes that swept out of Asia on horses around 1000 ad. In this case the religion of the Mongols as Shamanism is mentioned. The books in the series have become collectibles and are considered classics by some.

three investigators

This book was an attention-grabber just like the others.No criminal master-mind could beat the smart 1rst investigator Jupiter Jones,agile 2nd investigator Peter Crenshaw,and bookworm 3rd investigator Robert Andrews.When some one steals a priceless statue from a profesor the three investigators are there,afterall they investigate ANYTHING.They dont promise to sucseed but to try.You will like it just as I have.It is full of action-packed mystery and will keep you on the edge of your seat in suspense.

AWESOME

This was a really good story. It has a great storyline.It has fear, excitement,action, and adventure. The description of the dancing devil was so good I could see it in my head. I'm in sixth grade and reccomend this book to my friends. My mom has been trying to find the Three Investigator series so I can read more of them. Look for the author Robert Arthur like we did and you'll find them still being published.
