The Adventures of Jack Lime by James Leck

Leck, James, The Adventures of Jack Lime. Kids Can Press, 2010. Pgs. 126. Language: G, Sexual Content: G, Violence: G


Jack Lime, a self-styled detective, loves to solve cases. In this book he solves three cases that take him into a world full of pimply gangstas, atomic wedgie givers, and all the dangers associated with high school

An excellent detective novel for older readers. For readers who have been caught reading Encyclopedia Brown and other such detective novels at some point in their life, this book is a great. The main character is entertaining and the plots are fast and well-developed for short stories. Readers who like adventure, mysteries, and humor will like reading this book. This is a must-have for any collection. EL(4-6)/MS. ESSENTIAL. Reviewer: Kira, Youth Services Librarian, HUN Public Library.
