This is a fast-paced early chapter book with a great gang of kids and a pseudo-parrot (you’ll have to read it to find out what that means!). Josh, his brother Jake and sister Madison have superpowers – but Josh’s are rather more dramatically revealed (and more powerful) than theirs. There’s plenty of goo involved, that’s all I’ll reveal.

They join forces with some friends to right some wrongs, a venture which involves maps, ingenuity, commonsense, technology and duct tape. It also involves some Robin Hood-like conclusions.

Altogether it was a fun read with lovely touches, great and believable characters, and plenty of jelly beans. Should be plenty more fun on the way with the Gumshoe News Crew!

Bonus points for the super illustrations!… (altro)
