Your kids will love this series

I read this series as a child and am now turning my kids onto it. It is a great vocabulary builder that will keep them on the edge of their seats and have them trying constantly to figure out who done it. Jupiter Jones and his crew are just plain fun to follow through this incredible literary series.

Casey's Review

I did like my book because I like the ocean and I mostly like sharks. So this was the perfect book for me! I didn't read much for couple days, then it got interesting. I'm also interested in submarines, so I liked this book. These three kids go on an adventure with one of the kid's dad. They see the author of their favorite book. Then he tells them something has gone wrong and the kids hand him a card that says the three investigators. In the middle of the story, they get in trouble when a storm hits and the two kids and Mr. Macgregor stayed at the oil platform. At the end of the story, the other kid and Mr. Crow get captured by the two Conner brothers and Yamura . The two kids go diving and find something everyone has been after. During the storm, they saw a submarine came up from the water and then stayed there for a couple seconds before disappearing back down to the ocean floor They have never seen that submarine before and a lot more happens. Read The Secret Of Shark Reef to find out. If you don't like reading then you shouldn't read this book but if you love reading this is a good book for you. You could finish this book in less than four days. Again it seems long ,but it actually isn't but who cares. This is a great book!!!

The first book I read start-to-finish!

Wonderfully exciting as I remember it! Although it was seventeen years ago I will never forget it. For a twelve year old growing up off the coast of San Francisco Bay it keep my imagination overflowing with thoughts of sharks and dark mystery! A book I surely recommend for todays youth! If you read this book when you were young E-Mail me, and we'll discuss the book, the age and the interest in reading that this book inspired!
