Hmm. Efficient rather than compelling. My 9yo has gone through seven of them in two weeks so clearly Horowitz is doing something very right. But I'm uneasy with the stereotypical treatment of race - the villain is a thinly disguised Al Fayed caricature, for example.

DID NOT FINISH: 32%

This book is kind-of like books I've read, it's just this one didn't hit right. Maybe if read it at a different time, when I don't have as many books I want to read, I'll like it better.
