Max, Alice, Nico, Luke, and Kat are all excited for their school
Olympic event. When they find a threatening note, warning the school to cancel
the event, they are nervous, but decide to try to solve the mystery. As the
events began to go wrong, it looks like someone is sabotaging the Olympics in a
dangerous way. Will the friends be able to solve the mystery before the event
is cancelled?
This book is presented like a 2nd-3rd
grade chapter book, with large font, short chapters, illustrations, and short
length, but its quite complex in characters and plot. The story dives right
into all the many main characters and I found that really confusing. I think it
would easier for these younger readers to access if it followed the narrative
of one character. The mystery component woven throughout the story added
interest. The illustrations are wonderful.
