DE SANTIS, Pablo (2007), The Paris Enigma, HarperCollins (336 pages)
Santiago applies to be a detectives apprentice and it seems that he won’t be picked until mysteriously the detective’s favourite applicant is murdered. On seeing the applicant’s body the detective falls ill and asks him to go to a Paris representing him at a meeting of the world’s best detectives. But when he arrives there is a whole new mystery to be solved.
I felt that after reading this book I began to enjoy mystery books more than before.
The great thing about this book is that at times you have a chance to solve the clues and find out something before the detectives and it makes you feel frustrated (in a good way!)
So that you want to carry on and see what happens.
This book is really great!

This book is the last in the Flat Stanley series, which is about a boy called Stanley, and in every book something amazing
And I would say it is the funniest and best. It is about
I would recommend this book to over 7 year olds because of some of the vocabulary, I would also recommend this to people who like excitement and laughter in what they are reading and to people who are starting to learn or to speak English.
This book is about the time when the World War II started and how people reacted. Many children were evacuated to the countryside. When this boy reaches the countryside he is given to a man that doesn’t look very funny, in fact he looks quite serious.
I loved this book because it shows how things were when World War II started, and how people had to do many things. It also shows how they had to act.
