adventurous lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

3.5

Kid detective genre. Auntie Gift Giving: Except for one disappointing moment where the main character and his dad joke about keeping secrets from the mother and a few unnecessary jokes from some characters about the main character eating too much, the book is a lighthearted adventure that would be a good fit for kids getting into chapter books.  Food and appreciation for food are part of the fun of the book.  The book is set in Singapore, yet will be completely relatable for readers in the U.S..
