Opis

He lit the blowtorch, setting its blue flame hissing. "Now you tell me about the treasure." His grubby fingers reached for Susie's hair. "Jeffrey, do something," Charlie cried. Jeffrey Jones hasn't had the easiest life. Clumsy by nature and overweight, he's laughed at by everyone at school, including his teachers. The only time everyone stops laughing is when a mystery is involved, because Jeffrey happens to be a master investigator. When one of his teachers hires him to find a hit-and-run driver, Jeffrey and his best friend Pablo Reyes find themselves swept up in a dangerous mystery involving a treasure worth two hundred million dollars, the treasure's dead owner, and a ruthless treasure hunter who will stop at nothing to find the hidden prize. Move over Sherlock Holmes, there's a new sheriff in town. How are YOUR detective and mystery-solving skills? Check out the Look Inside feature for this book. Jeffrey's teacher sets a trap to humiliate him in front of the entire class. If you were Jeffrey, would you accept his teacher's challenge to solve an impossible mystery?

It has more action and more suspense than the first book, along with plenty of humor, surprises, and even a dash of romance. These are intelligent, well-written mystery and suspense stories, starring a pair of real 14-year-old teen heroes. These books are entertainment first, but they also contain life lessons on morality, honesty, and fighting evil. This book is enrolled with the Kindle Matchbook plan.
